I'd be interested to hear people's recent experiences with Dual Xeons under load with SMP on and HTT off.
A while back there were stability problems with Dual Xeon machines. I've got one of these in production with SMP turned off for the time
Do you refere to the scheduler?
Use the old BSD scheduler and you should be fine.
I'm not familiar with the scheduler options. Nothing changed from GENERIC there.
When I comissioned the machine in February I ran RELENG_5_3 with the SMP kernel config as supplied. ie generic with the SMP option turned on. No problems surfaced during setup, but when the box went live, it was having kernel panics about every couple of hours. Going back to the GENERIC kernel solved the problem.
