Discussion of technical issues relating to multi-processor support for NetBSD

SMP on 1-6 Branch

I've tried config'ing GENERIC.MP and it fails with the following error:
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf# config GENERIC.MP
../../../../arch/i386/conf/files.i386:489: redefinition of `spic_acpi'
*** Stop.

If I comment out the offending lines (the attach/file commands for the Sony SPIC), it configs but does not
compile correctly, any
suggestions?

cd src/sys
cvs update -r netbsd-1-6 -dPA
cd arch/i386
cvs update -r sommerfeld_i386mp_1 -dPA .

That has never been supported.. You might try the same thing with the
i386mp_plus16_stable tag, but it's not guaranteed to work either.

Or you can run -current, of course..

RE: SMP on 1-6 Branch

So far all seems well, I'll run it through some MP/Memory intensive applications and see what happens. 
Thanks for the help.
