I've dual E5520 server w/Supermicro X8DTI mobo (last June 2009 1.0c bios version). Default OpenSuSE 11.1 x86-64 kernel (2.6.27.7-9) gives an error in /sys/devices/system/node directory - there is node0 and node2 subdirectories instead of node0 and node1 (smt is turned off). As a result numactl tools don't work.
I don't find the message about this error in SuSE bugzilla "database".
This Nehalem/NUMA error is also known (AFAIK) for 2.6.29-6 default OpenSuSE kernel, and also in FC11 kernel 2.6.29, and in some CentOS 2.6 kernel; but there are kernels w/o this error :-)
Is there some updated OpenSuSE 11.1 kernels w/o this error ? Or may be some OpenSuSE 11.2 kernels ?
There are bug fixes for userspace numactrl to be able to handle numa holes. But this came in late and for PPC, thus it is only activated for PPC builts. Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
