I saw the commit messages. Very exciting! I'll give it a try once a new snapshot
gets rolled. Luckily I haven't deployed the ERL yet, so re-installing won't be
a problem.

​Greetings all, and thanks for the info on getting the MP installed on the
ERL.
I performed the steps as indicated n the links above and now have GENERIC.MP
running on my ERL.  I did see that KARL failed on the initial install and
reboot,
which I performed via serial console.  I attempted
the manual relinking and a
second reboot via ssh, so I don't know if it failed
​ ​
on the second reboot.  If it did,
​I​
 can live without it
​ ​
in order to have a second core
​ ​
as intended on this device.
Thanks again, dmesg to follow.

Thanks for the reply, Stefan! At least it's a known issue. I will
watch the tree for any updates in this area.

Re: bsd.mp not installed on EdgeRouter Lite

[Jan Kalkus]

I had it working at some point (I think it was in 6.1-current). 

During an upgrade/boot from bsd.rd, drop into a shell before beginning the 
upgrade, manually set numcpu (I think that was the variable name) to 2 (not 
sure why it gets set as 1). 

After that, the upgrade script will “detect” two cpu cores and install the 
bsd.mp kernel. 

The last part is much more fuzzy to me. I think after the kernel re-linking, I 
would copy it to the FAT partition. 

That seemed to work, inasmuch as it did not throw any errors about kernel 
re-linking errors. 

It has been quite a while since I’ve performed an upgrade on my ERLs. I will 
try it out when I get a chance.

I've seen this, too. For some reason bsd.rd doesn't count CPUs correctly
even with coremask=0x3.

That's what I did, too.

Not me.

Looking into this is somewhere at the far end of my todo list.
Not sure I'll ever get to it.
