I tried this with the port version of 3dmd on a 5.1-Release box, and it seems to work OK. Barry Hi Barry, Interesting. I should have searched. I wasn't running 5.1 back then. :) Either way, thank you. I'll give the patch a shot.

The new SMP arrangement works great and the kernel boots fine on the machine, but I couldn't continue the install once I got past drive partitioning due to some missing devices related to the Promise IDE RAID array. So, as it stands, -RELEASE won't run in SMP and -CURRENT will, but -CURRENT won't install on my machine. Of course, I put all of about five minutes' worth of effort in to it... Any other ideas?

Extremely slow boot?
Hi, I've been running FreeBSD since 3.4. I had built a machine to replace my old fileserver, but decided to hold off on switching them around and use the machine to test out 5.0 on. The machine itself is a Tyan Tiger LE (S2515, ServerWorks ServerSet III-LE chipset), dual PIII/733EB, 512M RAM, DPT PM2865U3 64-bit, dual-channel, U160 SCSI RAID controller, on-board Intel Pro/100 ethernet and on-board ATi Rage video. I'm running a bunch of Seagate 9.1G drives in RAID 1/0, an IDE CD-ROM at ata0-master and an IDE CD-RW at ata1-master. The machine worked perfectly with everything before 5.0. I tried to install DP2, but the hardware detection during boot seemed to hang after detecting vga0. I thought that the problem would have been found already and decided to try a later -CURRENT. I downloaded some boot floppies for the latest -CURRENT (20021208) from current.freebsd.org and tried the install again, with the same luck. It appeared to hang after detecting vga0. Booting with -v, I would see a message about isa_probe_children, and that's when the machine hung. Oddly enough, after letting the machine sit in the hung state for a while, the boot process continued and I was able to install, but every time since the long boot times continue. After searching around, I discovered the device hint 'hint.acpi.0.disable=1' and added it to my /boot/device.hints, but the problem still persists. I then set acpi_load=NO in /boot/loader.conf, but with no luck. The machine boots, just boots extremely slow. Any ideas? I'm happy to post any information that's requested (once the machine boots...).
