If i use "maxcpus=2" the kernel boots fine and works fine, if i boot with "maxcpus=3" i see "Loading Linux..." and then hard reset, if i use maxcpus=4 the same, if i use "noapic" also the same. I totally have no clue about it and also don't see any error messages, also not with early printk() patch from William Lee Irwin III. This is with 2.4.18, 2.4.19rc1, 2.4.19rc1-aa2, 2.4.19-rc1-aa2-jam2 and my kernel tree wolk 3.5. For anyone who don't know the mashine: http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantml570/description.html Please CC, I am not subscribed to the mailinglist. -- Kind regards, Marc-Christian Petersen http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk PGP/GnuPG Key: 1024D/408B2D54947750EC Fingerprint: 8602 69E0 A9C2 A509 8661 2B0B 408B 2D54 9477 50EC Key available at www.keyserver.net.
