Subject: [Linux-ia64] Kernel Resources & Allocation Order
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 20:24:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698805368@msgid-missing> (raw)

Do kernel-parameters (such as, mem=X and maxcpus=N) have an allocation order according to the physical system layout, or
even follow any order at all?

For example, if I boot with mem\x1024M and maxcpus=2, will resources come from the low number DIMM and CPU slots.  Or is
SMP completely random, with no guarantee which resources are allocated.  I am aware that you cannot choose which
resources to use, but the documentation I have found on this subject is unclear.

Thanks.
