Sorry i have been pulled away on something else... With CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled, the problem code would not get compiled, thus i was able to create a kernel rpm. Unfortunately i failed to boot the sn2 kernel... So i switched to my reference box, an ia64 HP zx box. It booted up OK (tiger defconfig). Then i got stuck on a stupid quesiton: I was not able to run the 'kexec' command to load the kernel specified in the '-p' parameter. What kernel was i supposed to specify there? The one i built? Or, a reqular kernel that proves to work? Thanks, - jay _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
