You don't explicitly disable SPARSEMEM for those platforms I think, so is there another reason than bugs for this? My followup question... I wonder why memory hotplug is disabled for discontigmem? It seems like there is code there to handle it (athough I don't know the memory hotplug code well so I didn't look too closely). Thanks, Nick
