I haven't been able to get a working SMP kernel out of -CURRENT recently. I don't know exactly when it broke, because I usually rebuild on a weekly basis. The kernel hangs after: APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery and doesn't ever come back (panic or otherwise).
The one thing that I noticed is that on the older kernels, CPU#1 is launched after the APIC_IO Testing and Routing. On the newer kernels, CPU#1 is launched far earlier. Anybody have any ideas? On a side note, the pn0 driver appears to be broken (uniprocessor kernels will boot, the pn0 device shows up, and is ifconfig'd, but there's no link light on it. It works fine with older (04/04/99) kernels). William S.
