Subject: NUMA-Q breakage 7/7 preempt vs. printk bootstrap ordering
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 15:40:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020712224016.GE25360@holomorphy.com> (raw)
CONFIG_PREEMPT creates a bootstrap ordering issue as some implicit
scheduling done in printk.c raises exceptions prior to the secondary
cpus being prepared to handle them (seen as no vm86_info: BAD).
The workaround, enclosed below is not to use preempt on NUMA-Q.
Cheers,
Bill
