Compiling Kernel for Computer with 2 CPUs
Hi I have a Companq Professional AP400 with two Pentium III processors. I want to install FreeBSD on my computer and use it as Web Server. To make real use of Two Processors, I want to Recompile Kernel but I don't see any option to compile the kernel in the file as there used to be in old version such as 5 and 5.4, etc. Could you advise me that how can I compile my kernel, with which option, so I could make use of my two processors? Another thing, is it a good box for running a webserver with mysql-database or should I buy one?

Re: Compiling Kernel for Computer with 2 CPUs
Hello! You need this option/device in your KERNCONF file: options SMP device apic For better performance comment out SCHED_4BSD: #options SCHED_4BSD And take this: options SCHED_ULE You could also try these optimizations: makeoptions COPTFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -funroll-loops -ffast-math Read this: http://www.de.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html http://www.silverwraith.com/papers/freebsd-kernel.php Another thing, is it a good box for running a webserver with mysql-database or should I buy one? Normally it is but it depends on the load... And more important than the number of CPUs could be the RAM...
