I got a kernel with the new patch just posted installed on an Athlon64 machine, it boots ok, drops to kdb after its up. I quickly checked the usual commands and everything worked ok. Unfortunately this system is uniproc, and I do not have access to other boxes right now (I hope this is a temporary situation to be correctted in a couple weeks). Anyone willing to give the new patch a quick check on SMP? Maybe some debug printk in the notify_die registration code? I still think that is where something is going wrong. Anything I can do to help let me know. Jack --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
