Good stuff. You can enable a cpu again by using: echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online > Running 3 threads of "small FFT test" works fine, nothing unusual to > report. > Running 3 threads of "large FFT test" makes the system hang after a > couple of minutes. > Running 3 threads of "blend" makes the system reboot after 30-60seconds. OK, the interesting bit is whether you get those same results independent of _which_ core you disable. Can you test for when you have core #0 disabled, then with core #1 disabled and so on? The suspicions are that you might see core #2 fail sooner than the others... I think the most useful tests will be when you have a known good heatsink contact!
