[parisc-linux] SMP on kernel version 19 pa 23

[parisc-linux] SMP on kernel version 19 pa 23

[FARINATI,LEANDRO (HP-Brazil,ex1)]

Hi people,

	I would link to know if the SMP is working on kernel 19 pa 23, 32
bits?
	
	I'm make this question because when I enable SMP to compile this
kernel and put it to run, it crashes when the systen try do boot.
	If anyone know something about this, please give me a tip to solve
this.

Thanks in Advance,

I assume you mean 2.4.19-pa23.
IIRC 2.4.19-pa24 booted/worked on a500 (64-bit) and I thought that was
an SMP kernel but aren't sure now.

can you post the console output?
And you .config file? (if it's not the default)

The main thing here is that 32- and 64-bit SMP kernels are very
different. On a D390 a 32-bit kernel crashes on a lot of cases (I've
submited info on atleast three of those) and 64-bit kernel also
crashes, but in a very different way (and for very different reasons,
I'm quite sure). Lots of people have managed to run 64-bit SMP
kernels, I haven't heard of any succesful 32-bit SMP yet...
