Perhaps what is happening is that cpu0 comes online ... safely skips over the early printk calls. Calls cpu_init() which sets up the resources *it* needs (ar.k3 points to per-cpu space), and then executes sched_init() which marks it safe for all printk's. Then cpu1 comes up and does a printk before it gets to cpu_init(). Try with Ingo patch and CONFIG_SMP=n to see if you can come up on a uni-processor. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
