11.2 Installer Issues on G5

Hello, Michael

Having kern.smp.disabled=1 definitely helps with the instability, thanks.
However, as I said in another message, for some reason, when SMP is turned
off, a lot of my USB devices failed to connect when plugged into it, with a lot of
USB_ERR_TIMEOUT and other error messages (The only exception seems to be
the included Apple keyboard).
Is there a fix/workaround for the issue?

I can confirm that a very unstable G5, which only sometimes booted, runs
perfectly fine with
kern.smp.disabled=1
in /boot/loader.conf

So it seems that there is a problem with SMP support on the PowerMac G5.
(compiled already a kernel on it, now running buildworld...).

Best regards
Michael
