>Description:
Dear Sirs,
after having upgraded the firmware of the Proliant ML530 G2, the FreeBSD kernel is no more able to detect the second CPU. Other FreeBSD servers based on Proliant DL360 machines can correctly detect the second CPU if I set, in the ROM Bios, the following parameters:
- "OS Selection": Other
- "Processor Hyper-Threading": Disabled
Unfortunately these settings are not working for the ML530 G2, I also tried with all the others options available in the "OS Selection" menu (they are: Linux, OS/2, OS/2 SMP, Windows 2000/2003 server etc etc).
None of these worked for me, I also tried to recompile the kernel with this config file:
include GENERIC
ident LAPO
options SMP
device mpt
device isp
device ispfw
device carp
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
options DUMMYNET
options IPDIVERT
No result, then I tried to add the option:
options NO_MIXED_MODE
And recompiled the kernel, still no result.
This the full dmsg of the Proliant ML530 G2 with the "disappeared" CPU:

The Kernel does not enter SMP mode because it sees only one cpu.
Other people solved this issue, not relative to a Proliant ML530 but to a Proliant DL360 G3 by following instructions at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2005-September/002861.html but this is not working for me.
The BSD kernel is correctly compiled with SMP support as you can see from these sysctl variabiles:
lapo# sysctl -a | grep smp
kern.timecounter.smp_tsc: 0
kern.smp.maxcpus: 16
kern.smp.active: 0
kern.smp.disabled: 0
kern.smp.cpus: 1
kern.smp.forward_signal_enabled: 1
kern.smp.forward_roundrobin_enabled: 1
debug.psmpkterrthresh: 2
The mptable command returns the following (not relevant parts zapped):

I'm really desperate about this.. there's something I can do to provide any other useful information for tracking of this issue ?
Best regards,
Alessandro Dellavedova
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a Proliant ML530 G2, upgrade the firmware to the latest one provided with the "Firmware CD ver. 7.30", upgrade the ROM firmware.
Boot the FreeBSD kernel with SMP support, only 1 CPU is detected.

None, contacted HP about this.
