Bug#497807: [PATCH] fails to boot with 16 cores
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.26-4
Severity: important
Hi,
Freezes when initializing the 9th core while booting.
Since CONFIG_NR_CPUS is set to 32 it would be reasonable to set
CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP=y
to make that image work on systems with more than 8 cores .
Tested on Dell PowerEdge R900 4x Quad Core.
Cheers,
Balint
