Hi, If I compile the 2.4.0-test8 kernel on uniprocessor intel machine with SMP support, I get no compilation problems. But when I compile on a 'netfinity' machine with 3 intel processors with SMP support, the telnet session in which I do this gets hung during 'make bzImage'. Though the 'bzImage' still gets created but when I try to boot the netfinity with that image, the system crashes and I get the following kernel messages: Calibrating delay loop... 1795 Bogo MIPS Stack at about c1e1bfbc OK. CPU1: Intel Pentium III (Cascades) stepping 04 CPU has booted. Booting processor 2/6 eip 2000 Setting warm reset code and vector 1. 2. 3. asserting INIT. Waiting for send to finish... Deasserting INIT. Waiting for send to finish... +#startup loops: 2 Sending STARTUP #1. After APIC write. Startup point 1. Waiting for send to finish... +Sending STARTUP #2. After apic_write (the above line was the last thing written to the screen, it was then froze at this point for at least 5 min.) Has anybody faced this problem before? If anybody has booted the 2.4.x with SMP support on the netfinity multi-processor machienes, kindly tell me the way.
