I was going to boot mips64  xlr408, which has 8 cores.

Howerver, the code seemd to stop before calling 'start_kernel--->

calibrate_delay ' .

So Iadded some 'printk' in  calibrate_delay,  to check out why it failed.


 However,  if I added a 'printk' in any 'if  branches'  in

'calibrate_delay '  function  , the kernel would halt  before calling


'j  start_kernel'  in head.S. (in this situation ,printk seemed

unavailable, so  I  wrote directlly to serial address  to trace the

kernel).


Can anyone tell me why this happed?

Thank you
