Hello everyone. Here's my third try to see if anyone has any ideas about
what could be happening.. I appreciate all of the suggestions I've gotten
so far, but haven't made any progress. I've got an Intel L440GX+
motherboard with two Pentium III 1ghz processors that I can't seem to get
working with SMP and FreeBSD 4.6-stable. I keep getting this message when
I boot a kernel with SMP enabled:
Panic: mpfps Base Table HOSED!
mplock=0000000b; cpuid=0; lapic.id=00000000
I originally thought that my motherboard was defective, so I got another
one and got two new processors. That didn't help. Neither did switching
out the ram. Nor did
recompiling a new version of the GENRIC kernel with only the SMP options
changed. Neither did switching the MPS on the bios from 1.4 to 1.1. And
finally, upgrading the bios etc didn't help either.
Here's what mptable responds with (it doesn't look right to me- see oem ie
and product id):

=================================================
Could there be something wrong with the case? I think it's the Astor II
with the built in Hotswap RAID, but that seems unlikely to be the problem,
since it works so well when SMP is not enabled.
Any help would be appreciated, as I'd love to get this second processor
working.
thanks
Jess
