I configured two of that same machines and installed FreeBSD 4.9 and
FreeBSD 5.1 respectively (the performance of 5.1 is better).
I managed to recompile for SMP (dual processor) without any problem.
Remember to configure in your BIOS the nmb_table (or something like that)
as for a "linux system".

This is my SMP kernel configuration file for the 4.9 version, if it's useful
for you:

Asunto: dual ( HP ProLiant ML350 ) kernel config ?


Hi,

I am trying to build a SMP kernel on our new dual Xeon 2.8ghz HP server.
Although I've been using FreeBSD for many years this is my first SMP
machine and I'm not having any luck.
I can't recall the exact error but the machine boots up and then throws
out a bunch of errors relating to IOAPIC programming before it freezes.

Please could someone take a look at my very basic kernel config to see
if there is anything that I have left out that may be causing the
problem. I've pasted dmesg also so you can see the hardware probe.

Thank you kindly.
