Subject: Make SMP x86-64 kernels boot on more UP systems.
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:41:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060224014112.GA16089@redhat.com> (raw)
Should someone boot an SMP kernel on UP hardware on some systems,
strange things happen, such as..
SMP: Allowing 0 CPUs.
We blow up shortly afterwards.
