Subject:   SMP problems with recompiled kernel
Message-ID:  <NFBBKPJPAKGONKPGEIEIEEIKGBAA.nwarren@globix.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hi all, I have another little issue that I could use some help with. I have
recompiled my kernel to take advantage of SMP hardware. (Compaq Proliant
DL360)

Kernel compiles all OK with no warnings, however when I reboot the box I get
the standard boot text and then the following which hangs the box :

real memory  = 536854528 (524272K bytes)
config> di sn0
No such device: sn0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di lnc0
No such device: lnc0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di ie0
No such device: ie0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di fe0
No such device: fe0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di ed0
No such device: ed0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di cs0
No such device: cs0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> q
avail memory = 518909952 (506748K bytes)
changing APIC ID for IO APIC #0 from 0 to 8 on chip
programming 35 pins in IOAPIC #0
IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0

Firstly, why are the 'config' prompts there ? I have searched through my
kernel config file and I can find no reference to any of the devices as
above i.e. i don't want/need them

Secondly this is what the big problem is and what appears to be hanging the
box....

changing APIC ID for IO APIC #0 from 0 to 8 on chip
programming 35 pins in IOAPIC #0
IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0

As you can see from the kernel config file, I have added the 2 lines as
advised by GENERIC and the support handbook. I am running 4.6-RELEASE. I
have used the same config (minus the SMP lines) on a box with only 1
processor and all is ok too.

Does anyone have any ideas ??? If there is any information I can supply
please let me know....

Thanks as always

Nathan Warren
