smp_send_stop() and disable_local_APIC()

It looks like around 2.3.30 or so, someone added the call disable_local_APIC() to smp_send_stop(). I'm not sure what the intention was, but I'm getting some strange behavior as a result based on some code I'm writing. Basically, I'm doing the following ... panic() { /* do

2.4.4 Kernel - ASUS CUV4X-DLS Question

I am encountering a problem I am having a little difficulty trying to solve. I have a system with a ASUS CUV4X-DLS system board, Bios 1004, 1GB of memory. dual P3 933MHz processors, a G450 Matrox card in the AGP slot, and a SBLive! sound card in PCI Slot 4. I have provided the output from dmesg

The 2.4 /proc module change

In the old 2.x kernels, a /proc module registers itself through proc_register(_root, _self) and unregister itself through proc_unregister(_root, inode) But in the 2.4.x kernels, proc_register and proc_unregister are no longer available. Compilation yields "implicit declaration of proc_register"
