the CPUs are active in the BIOS. The BIOS is v 1.05. with 1.06 being the

According to IBM the changes from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6 are
Added in serial remote console redirection
Fixed PXE ROM execution failure when using PXE on planar Ethernet #2
Removed the "Auto Configure" IRQ option for the System Service Processor IRQ
setting in POST/BIOS setup to prevent erroneous configuration change and
diskette drive failure messages
I have a number of these machines running linux with no problems.

ok, two problems. I don't remember that I had the option to explicitly
install an SMP kernl, and looking back here
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html) , I
don't see that sysinstall gave me that option. Additionally, I have the
kernel source and I see that in GENERIC, SMP is enabled. Am I missing
something?

I originally posted this to "FreeBSD Questions" but was told that the

I'm running the "stock" FreeBSD 7.1 kernel on an IBM x330 machine. The
machine has two physical processors but it seems that FreeBSD 7.1 only sees
one. I downloaded the kernel source and it seems that the GENERIC kernel
has SMP installed. Is there something else I can try? Thanks in advance
for your wisdom.

Did you install the SMP kernel from sysinstall? There's a difference.
Thanks,

Nope -- that would be it. Is one CPU not active in the BIOS? Do
you have the latest BIOS flashed from IBM? Does a Linux disk see both
CPU's?
Cheers,
-Garrett
I only see one CPU in the kernel output you provided though --
that's why I'm confused. Also, please don't top-post ;).
Thanks!
-Garrett
Sry, didn't know that top-posting was bad etiquette. The BIOS reports 2
CPUs and that they're both enabled. Is there some other output I could
provide that would help? I can't be 100% sure, but I _think_ this
worked with FreeBSD 6.
