Hi, A partitioned ppc64 machine can have a boot cpuid anywhere from 0 to 31. With the non linear cpu changes in 2.5.24 we must set up the initial task to start on the boot cpu. (since it isnt always 0 now) With this patch I am able to boot on cpus other than 0. I also tested discontiguous cpuids: # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 2 cpu : RS64-IV (sstar) clock : 601MHz revision : 0.0 processor : 4 cpu : RS64-IV (sstar) clock : 601MHz revision : 0.0 processor : 6 cpu : RS64-IV (sstar) clock : 601MHz revision : 0.0 timebase : 601583219 machine : CHRP IBM,7025-F80 So the non linear cpu stuff checks out OK. Nice work Rusty!
