dual cpu question

Hello all!
Is there any software way to stop the second processor of two-processor (two
quad core Xeon) proliant server with FreeBSD  without romoving the proceesor
in real? I have dead-locks with the two processors even in 7.1 with the new
ULE schessuler. If I use one processor there are no problems.

- Ivan

Possibly use the cputask(2) utility which should be available in 7.1-
RELEASE.

Why don't you rebuild the kernel without SMP support?  Then it will only use
one CPU.

I haven't tried this yet. I will try. The main Idea is to have system with
two good-working on FreeBSD. On this stage I cannot have it :(

You should be able to disable a processor from the bios (F9 prompt).

The ProLiant BIOS doesn't offer a processor disable option as far as I know.

Hmmm, the DL360 g5 I just checked indeed doesn't. Don't remember on
which server I last looked for it and it had it. Might have been an
older DL58x or a blade.
