I just wanted to say thanks to Mark for taking time to work with me to resolve issues with a post 3.9 GENERIC.MP kernel on a dual Opteron Tyan system board I'd recently received. After various e-mails with patches to try Mark came to the conclusion the MP BIOS was broken. It turned out that a newer BIOS had been releaed after the system had shipped, after upgrading to the most recent BIOS the system now boots with a MP kernel.
thank you again diana Follows is the dmesg with MPVERBOSE enabled: OpenBSD 3.9-current (GENERIC.MPVERBOSE) #0: Fri Apr 14 10:19:54 MDT 2006 [EMAIL
