Sounds good to me. Maybe it should then be called cpualt instead of smpalt? Tried booting your patch and needed the following fix for Cortex-A8 UP. Now it boots to the following error: Machine configuration botched (nr -1073741824), unable to continue. Does some struct size need to be changed or something? Regards, Tony
