Have done following test matrix: 1) Hardware X2apic capable: yes, preenabled by BIOS: no, Kernel: x2apic capable smp 1.1) boot: ok 1.2) boot with "nox2apic": ok 1.3) boot with "nointremap": ok with CPU in physical flat mode 2) Hardware X2apic capable: yes, preenabled by BIOS: no, Kernel: x2apic incapable smp 2.1) boot: ok 3) Hardware X2apic capable: yes, preenabled by BIOS: yes 3.1) x2apic capable kernel: ok 3.2) x2apic incapable kernel: hang with a blank screen(panic) Kernel: x2apic capable smp 4) Hardware X2apic capable: no 4.1) boot x2apic capable smp kernel: ok 4.2) boot x2apic incapable up kernel: ok 4.3) boot xen domain0 with x2apic capable smp kernel: ok 5) x86_32, UP, IO_APIC disabled 5.1) boot: panic with following call stack: do_ono_initcall()->APIC_init_uniprocessor()->setup_local_APIC(). I can't capture the full log message due to lack of serial console. It seems we have trouble with: early_initcall(APIC_init_uniprocessor); Regards!
