Hi folks,

I have a rather new FujitsuSiemens Esprimo here with an AMD Phenom X3 processor (triple core is somehow strange :-) and a lot of NVidia stuff onboard. I installed 7.0-R, which ran quite well except for the bge driver and snd_hda which both complained. After putting in an extra networking card I was able to install some more software and all appeared to be nice. Then I cvsupped to the recent 7-stable as of today. My hope was that maybe the bge or the sound card would improve from this. However, the new kernel I compiled does not run at all. It boots up to CPU#1 and CPU#2 lauchned messages and then sits there and does nothing anymore. I have verified this behaviour with amd64 snapshot images from July and August to make sure I did not compile a bad kernel. Both show the same behaviour. Are there any ideas what has changed from 7.0-R to recent 7.0-stable that could cause this? What can I do to debug/fix this?

Make sure you have this in your /etc/sysctl.conf:

[~] edwin@k7>grep hyper /etc/sysctl.conf machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1

Then with top you can see the CPUs in use ----------v
