The kernel i am using is actually patched. All patched worked correctly without 
giving any error on 2.6.18.8 source tree. But still bootup is very very slow.

Actually, if you already have a more recent version of kernel working perfectly 
with beta 4 version why not have that one in standard download?

For people who are doing any thing with multiple cores, pinning thread to a 
processor is a very useful feature to have.

Let 
me 
check 
to 
see 
if 
there 
is 
a 
missing 
patch 
to 
2.6.18.  
There 
are
certain 
functions 
(mostly 
delay 
functions 
and 
the 
idle 
loop) 
in 
the
linux 
kernel 
that 
are 
very 
slow 
if 
not 
patched.

This 
is 
a 
linux 
thing.  
It's 
a 
timestamp.
