Re: 5.2.1 SMP problems
Hi! Installed 5.2.1 on a high load server - albeit not recommended - and it was working perfectly with SMP support. It picked up 4 cpu's and appeared to be using them all. (The box is a dual 2.4gig Xeon machine). Anyway, the box was as I said under quite a bit of load, and would die about once a day - just reboot. I looked into it a bit and found whenever I put more load on (e.g. a make install in ports) it would panic - vm_load_page or something like that - sorry about being so vague. Anyway I took out SMP support, and now it boots with 2 cpu's - one normal Xeon + HT for the second (no idea how to disable that - but I don't need to)... its been running perfect for 4 days now and I put it under SERIOUS load.. has anyone else had SMP problems on 5.2.1? I put 5.2.1-RELEASE on an IBM Netfinity 5000 (dual Pentium III) and I had problems, although different from yours. This system has some warning LEDs on the motherboard which light up when something is wrong. Quite often, when booting, the NMI and PCI1 LEDs would light up, the message NMI ISA 34, EISA ff appears among the boot messages and system reboots shortly after that. PCI1 LED indicates a problem with the first PCI bus, which is where I have IBM ServeRAID controller. Interesting thing is that sometimes this problem during booting does not happen and once the system boots successfully there are never any problems. When I removed the second CPU, the problem disappeared. I am not quite convinced yet that the problem is completely gone (haven't rebooted too many times) but it certainly has been greatly reduced. Downgrading the firmware of ServeRAID controller from 6.10 to 5.10 (as recommended by another poster on this list) may also have contributed to resolving the problem. But the first thing I did was removing the 2nd CPU and I successfully booted several times between that and downgrading the ServeRAID firmware. I *seem* to remember one NMI-boot after removing the second CPU, but I'm not quite sure my memory isn't failing me - it has been quite a rough ride with this NF5000 during the past few days. Anyway, *before* removing the second CPU, the boot failure rate was 50%, so I'm sure removing the second CPU did help, even if downgrading the ServeRAID firmware may have helped further. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Feeling compressed ARJ you? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SMP problems - hardware?
I just built a new server with: Intel SE7501CW2 ServerBoard 2 x Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz 533FSB 2 x 1GB ECC DIMMs Adaptec 2200s RAID (lev 1) FreeBSD 4.10-Beta (cvsup from 4.9-Release to Stable produced this) I built the SMP kernel (I've done this before with older L440GX systems several times with no problems) and everything boots fine (see dmesg below), but ubench shows about half what the performance should be and top only shows 1 CPU running (cpu0). I'm seriously afraid I might have mucked up one of the CPUs when I had to remove and reinstall it, but I would think that I would see some sort of error if that were the case. In the BIOS you see the system processor installed, but not the application processor installed (not sure if that means the 2nd CPU or not), but both cpu's temperatures are showing up.
