How severe was the "power problem?" I've had to re-install earlier Linux's after an accidental shutdown on a running system (wasn't on an Opteron system, but this sounds like a Linux filesystem issue rather than an AMD64 issue). I haven't seen it happen yet on SuSE 8.2, but I haven't seen many accidental power-offs on 8.2, either. It's one area in which NTFS seems to be a ahead of ext3 and reiserfs. Is the system on a UPS?

Straightforward install. No issues (other than having to turn off APIC - same for all other distros). The machine was up for about a week and a power problem required it to be shutdown. Now when I reboot the whole process hangs at the intialization of cpu #1. Any ideas? I booted with a rescue disk to checkout the disks and they were fine. I booted with a ClusterKnoppix CD that I had laying around and it worked fine, with both CPUs. Attached is the serial output of a boot with no APIC. Help please
