Hello list, I am currently setting up a Compaq DL360 G1 Server with NetBSD (5.1_RC2). While this worked perfectly so far with a single-CPU variant (after some help from Matthias Scheler with a reboot-problem, see attached patch and PR 38501), the kernel (my own patched one as well as -GENERIC) froze the moment the first CPU was printed in green on the screen after I changed from single to dual processor. I was able to boot the kernel by disabling ACPI, but the kernel failed to detect the second CPU. The kernel-config-option MPBIOS -was- enabled, but the CPU was still not detected. After booting the SmartStart-CD, starting the System Configuration Utility, and switching the Operating System from "Other" to "Windows NT 4.0", MP BIOS finally worked, and the second CPU was found by the Kernel. Enabled ACPI still leads to freeze. uname -a : NetBSD butterfly.home.nifelheim.info 5.1_RC2 NetBSD 5.1_RC2 (BUTTERFLY-1.0) #0: Sat Jun 12 00:11:33 CEST 2010 root%panther.home.nifelheim.info@localhost:/build/work/i386/butterfly/obj/build/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BUTTERFLY i386 For dmesg, see attachment. -- GRATIS fÃr alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
