Second of all this issue will be hit on UP systems where the bios doesn't setup certain tables properly. Hence we didn't see similar failures so far. (In reply to comment #52)
Hm, with Suresh patch from comment #47 you also get: set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init for UP machines.
that call is just an init code, which actually makes sure that we don't touch the boot cpu's mtrr's later down in the boot path. I will think of a clean and simple patch to fix this issue.
I've tried Suresh's patch with kernel 2.6.36. Currently I'm working with this patched kernel. So I can say: It works!
Thanks for testing it out Markus.
Is that enough for you Suresh? Do you plan to submit this patch upstream and eventually to stable@?
Yes. Will do that mostly by end of day today and will update this bug with my lkml post once I did that.
I can already push it into our kernel and it should still show up in 11.4. I still like to wait for statement from Suresh, though.
Can you wait for couple of more days till the patch gets accepted into -tip tree? At that moment, you can take the patch into your distro. thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
