Kernel build question (options and so forth)
Hi, In addition to my quest to upgrade this 6.0-RELEASE to 6.2-RELEASE-p4, I have a question about the kernel and SMP. This system has two processors and I want to make sure I'm going to build an SMP capable kernel, especially, considering I'm going from 6.0 to 6.2. I managed to find a past posting to this list saying that from 6.2 on, SMP is detected and used by default; will this happen for me? Should I edit /usr/src/sys/arch/conf/MYKERNEL with something like options SMP or whatever it is? (I'm only guessing here, and I want to make sure I get an SMP kernel.)

RE: Kernel build question (options and so forth)
try the generic kernel and see if it works.

Review the GENERIC and NOTES kernel configs. The options for SMP kernels in i386 arch are commented.
