alpha DEAD on >=2.6.16-rc3

Post #1 of 4 (245 views)

Hi. I already posted a bugreport on the bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6351) but I feel no one is
recognizing that; and as I see it, it's a rather hard bug since it
throws a kernel panic immediately at boot time. I believe it has to do
with the change made in 2.6.16-rc3 concerning "cpu_possible_map". None
of the newer kernel versions works.
As you can see at the first (and up to now, only) comment, this is not
only my problem.
Maybe it appears only in connection with SMP. I can't tell.

I'm not sure if this is similar or not. I compiled 2.6.16 for my alpha 2
days ago. I've had nothing but lockup/halting problems with it and went back
to 2.4.

This is a noritake machine (alphaserver 1000a 4/266) 160mb ram and a mylex
dac960pdu (IIRC) raid controller.
