Duo core enable/support help.

[Marwan Sultan]

Hello Lane!

   I'm a frequent reader to /usr/src/UPDATING
   But whenever I need to update or upgrade only, since years!

   Also I knew very well whats KERNCONF! i just wanted to know and make sure 
of the duo core
   options, and i searched the NOTES file, didnot find anything about it.

   Thank you for your "short" problematic answer :)

   by the way, After recompiling the kernel and From my dmesg
--------------------
ACPI APIC Table: <INTEL  D11020M >
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1
ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 4
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
---------------------

But I still have few dmesg errors, these are the lines,

acpi0: <INTEL D11020M> on motherboard
acpi0: Overriding SCI Interrupt from IRQ 9 to IRQ 21
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)

and

Any easy problematic ideas? :)
Thank you
