Subject: [PATCH] Make Intel 8-way Xeons boot again
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2010 15:40:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100109101038.GA17555@in.ibm.com> (raw)
On an 8-way system with Intel Xeon X7350 CPUs, booting 2.6.32 or newer
kernels fails at:
...
CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X7350 @ 2.93GHz stepping 0b
Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok.
Brought up 8 CPUs
Total of 8 processors activated (46906.05 BogoMIPS).
Git bisect showed 2fbd07a5f as the offending commit.
With the patch below, I am able to boot the latest Linus' git tree on
the machine. If this patch is correct, it needs to get into the stable
tree too.
