Hi
Here is the system:
Compaq Proliant 5500
Quad Xeon 500Mhz
Booting from Compaq Smart Raid configured to give 3 virtual
drives
JBOD on seperate adaptec SCSI 2 PCI card
Fibre Channel Array 1.2T
Adaptec AHA 6944A/TX 4 port PCI 10/100
NVidia PCI TNT2 M64 32M Video card - working fine after a
struggle - configured as vesa vesa!
Built in ATI Rage IIc (DISABLED) on standard peripheral
interface
FreeBSD 4.7
My first attempt at configuring this system for SMP was a
total failure!! I lost my original configuration
as I was unable to re-start successfully with kernel.old. I
have successfully rebuilt the configuration as single
processor and am ready to have another go to build as SMP.
Before doing so some handholding advice would be very
welcome. I have not been able to find guidance for building
an SMP kernel but I have no doubt not been looking in the
right place!! I have looked at the LINT file commented
out:
cpu I386_CPU
cpu I486_CPU
and then added the lines
options SMP
options APIC_IO
is there anything else I need to do prior to making the
kernel?
That should be enough, but you should start from the GENERIC config
file, not the LINT config file. As it says at the top of LINT:
# NB: You probably don't want to try running a kernel built from this
# file. Instead, you should start from GENERIC, and add options from
# this file as required.
Also if there is someone with a similar system who could send me a
copy of a successful kernel conf file I would be most grateful
You've pretty much defined it.
