See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/dsc02516.jpg I got rc4-mm1 and booted it on an x86_64 machines with similar configuration (no NUMA but SMP, numa slab uncommented) but multiple configurations worked fine (apart from another error attempting to initialize a nonexistand second cpu by the NMI handler that I described in another email to you). I have no ppc64 available. Could we boot the box without quiet so that we can get better debug messages? Did the box boot okay without the patch? > Finally, I do intend to merge up the various slab patches which are in -mm, > so if you could base further work on top of those it would simplify life, > thanks.
