Hi,
On my Gentoo system, I installed a 2.5.59 kernel, and when I boot it, it tells
me this:
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task
In idle task - not syncing
Stuck ??
CPU #1 not responding - cannot use it
But then it goes ahead and boots anyway, and I just have one cpu missing from
programs like top. My system is a supermicro P4DC6+ motherboard with two 2.2
Ghz pentium 4 xeons. I've attached the output of dmesg. If you need
anything else from me that would be of help then let me know.
Thanks for your time.

Please decode that oops on the system after it has booted. or perhaps even
turn on CONFIG_KALLSYMS. Does it boot 2.5.59-vanilla fine? or even with
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/snapshots/patch-2.5.59-bk3.bz2?
