It took a bit longer sorry but I have more infos now. The acpi_pm was not related to that I still get the problem. Of course I still can try to find the commit which magically fixed acpi_pm if you really want. It seems like it breaks only when you enable HT and only on 2 socket motherboards. ( at least the ones I own , I know is old hardware but worked fine for me ) Also disabling the second CPU and enabling HT works , enabling both CPUs and disabling HT works , booting with enabled HT and both CPUs but maxcpus=2 also works , booting with 2 CPUs and HT on breaks , booting with both CPUs HT on but maxcpus=3 breaks also. Also I have another dual motherboard here 604 socket with 2 2,4 GHz Xeon's. The motherboard has the storage controller somewhat broken but for a quick test it is still good :) and I see the same thing. Does that make any sense ? Also all that tested on 2.6.25-rc6-00224-gae51801-dirty ( dirty while I reverted the revert =) ) Gabriel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
