Hi,

Ok so this time I think i nailed the problem. Using Anthony's tree I
was able to reproduce the failure. Why it worked with my testing
previously I have no idea :-(

The problem was that the local processor APICs were not marked
disabled for the processors not being active. I also changed the code
to mark unused processors as disabled in the MP table, though that
seemed to have no impact on this particular failure.

With this version I can boot Ubuntu all the way to X using Anthony's
tree.

Sorry for the noise, I am still mystified :-(

Cheers,
Jes
