Hi , 

	I checked LINT it said that I have to disabke I386 AND I486 from
kernel .. I marked those values from GENERIC and LINT too and recompile it .

But I can't see any changes .... 

Then I checked my messages file .... 


Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard:
2 CPUs
Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: cpu0 (BSP): apic id:  3, version:
0x00040011, at 0xfee00000
Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: cpu1 (AP):  apic id:  0, version:
0x00040011, at 0xfee00000
Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: io0 (APIC): apic id:  4, version:
0x000f0011, at 0xfec00000
Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: io1 (APIC): apic id:  5, version:
0x000f0011, at 0xfec01000

Dec 25 20:30:33 freebsdcgp /kernel: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

And this is my sysctl out .... 

freebsdcgp# sysctl hw.ncpu
hw.ncpu: 2


But when I run top utulity there is only one CPU there .. 

Now I will try cvsup RELENG_4 ... Maybe I can handle it ... 
Does anybody have advise ?! 

Vahriç ...

Answer to your ? 1.  98% of FBSD users do not have 2 cpu
motherboards so default GENERIC kernel is configured for them and
not for you.

Answer to your ? 2.  Read through the LINT kernel source to see if
you missed some other kernel option needed to enable the kind of  2
cpu motherboard you have.

Hi Everybody ,

        I have two question about SMP .

        First Why FreeBSD is installing OS with single Cpu default
?!! Why
it can't enable SMP support at installation time ?!

        Second when I compile kernel with SMP Support FreeBSD 4.9
can find
second CPU ?! What do I have to check why it can't find it ....?!

I'm using DUAL PIII 933 CPU and INTEL Server BOARD .... I tested it
with
DUAL INTEL 1.0B too
