Sorry to be a pain, I'm trying my best to flounder through this one on my own initiative. In SMP land, if the SMP kernel were to crash at this point in my dmesg, when trying to boot bsd.mp: <----- Point of crash (this is from the /bsd kernel dmesg) pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support Is there anything that I can try, if I try to compile a stripped down GENERIC.MP kernel? By stripped down, I mean that I intend to disable support for other processors (i486 etc) and disable any unnecessary drivers. Those two lines are the next two, from /bsd kernel, immediately after the point where the machine resets, when trying to boot /bsd.mp On the /bsd.mp, these lines are never reached/displayed. I'm not at all comfortable with C or kernel builds, to be honest, but I'm trying to at least help myself, with some experimentation. Looking at my dmesgs from the uniprocessor and MP kernels, linked in my original posts, a quick search for biomask in either dmesg may highlight things better. I'd really appreciate any advice that anybody might be able to offer and although I'm a complete novice in this field, I don't expect my hand to be held. Just give me something to work from, something that I can use as a basis for further research, if you could please? Best regards, Craig
