kswapd is still dieing on boot with SMP enabled (and this time the second processor is actually active) Does this indicate something is wrong with SMP and the MM code, or that some PPC-specific part needs fixing? I've tried to keep up on linux-kernel, but it's a little overwhelming ;)
The SMP stuff in Linux/PPC currently only supports the Apple MP architecture (I think they call it "powersurge"). Your MTX board probably has entirely different ways of coordinating the CPUs. Have you looked at arch/ppc/kernel/smp.c? I think that's where you'd have to start changing things. Paul. [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
