Well, no experimental PCI cards here. The same hardware used to run 3.4-stable in SMP mode with no problems. It runs the 4.0-stable GENERIC kernel just fine. But enabling SMP causes the ethernet timeouts. Here's all I changed to the GENERIC kernel config: options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O These are exactly the two lines that were uncommented when the hardware ran 3.4-stable. --Morgan > -----Original Message----- > From: doconnor@gsoft.com.au [mailto:doconnor@gsoft.com.au] > Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 1:11 AM > To: Morgan Davis > Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: RE: 4.0-stable + SMP + fxp = device timeout > > > > On 29-Mar-00 Morgan Davis wrote: > > The subject says it all.
