Re: Re[2]: [Xen-users] Problem initializing dual-core Opteron

["John Hannfield" <hal9020@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well I have tried a custom dom0 with cpu type Opteron, subarch set to xen-compatible, 
and turning PREEMPT_BKL both on and off. It is still the same, it can't get past
activiting the second core of the Opteron 265. My relevant .config sections are shown
below.

Note, that it *will* boot if I append the 'nolapic' and 'nosmp' options to the xen
kernel in grub.

title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6 nolapic nosmp noreboot
kernel /xen-3.0.gz console=vga nolapic nosmp noreboot
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0

But of course I need SMP !
Could this be a BIOS problem? I have my BIOS interrupt set to "APIC" (the other choice
is "PIC"). But I do not think it is, as I can boot a non-xen kernel 
2.6.16.29  fine with SMP
support.
