Not that 6.1 is out the dor I monder if anyone wuld like to give me
a hand with an SMP problem I have. I am running a system with two
Opterorn 242 processors in a K8D Master-F motherboard, each with 512M
of RAM attached. The processors both work and the system will run SMP
under wndows 2000 quite happily.
Under FreeBSD 61. the system also runs quite happily single processor,
but when I ruun an SMP kenel it freezes at the 'Waiting for SCSI devices
to settle; part of the boot process. Interesting it also does this in
single processor mode unless I have 'debug.acpi.disabled=timer'.
The motherboard has three plugin caards on it - an fxp Intel
either card, a Compaq 5402 RADI controller and an Adaptec 29160 which
is the boot device. In case these were causing problems I have also tried
unplugging all these cards are booting off an IDE drive. This exhibits
the same effect.
I *can* boot an SMP kene in 'safe mode' but this then only recognises
a single processor. I am using the GENERIC and SMP kerenls with no
modifications.
Other people have reported this motherboard to work. The output from
mptable is attached below if anyone is interested in trying to help
me track this down!
cheers,
-pcf.

One suggestion, boot in SAFE or non-ACPI, then do a pciconf -l and look for pci devices that are unknown. At least that will give more evidence. Hard to say if its ACPI or PCI related. Uh, you did make sure you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard right? Good luck,
