I finally came around to test this.
- GENERIC.MP from today's -current CVS
- Ultra 60, 2x 450 MHz CPU
- no non-standard hardware in the system
- no keyboard or monitor connected -> serial console
Kernel boots, initializes hardware, and locates the root filesystem:
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
root file system type: ffs
- and that's it. No more messages, no more activity. <BREAK> from the
serial terminal does NOT work at this place. It's just dead.
[This might not be SMP related at all, but just a generic -current issue -
I'll build a GENERIC kernel and try whether that one breaks as well. The
machine is normally running something older, 4.99.17 or so]
