Sorry for the late answer, I didn't see your reply for some reason :-(

I compiled and installed the stable vanilla 2.6.28 kernel from kernel.org,
as you suggested. Since I am not very accustomed with the kernel's compiling
options, I used the old kernel's .config file.

The problem stays the same with the new kernel. Normal boot --> freeze, boot
with maxcpus=1 --> works, uname-a shows new kernel. Seems to be a general
problem with this CPU. Or does anyone happen to have another idea for a
solution?


Patrick

I'm out of ideas, My next suggestion is to contact LKML and see if
they have any ideas.

apartment it is.

I would try to explore the idea that the CPU or motherboard is defective. Perhaps the second core is bad.

I had a problem with memory sticks that was similar. One stick worked and not two. I first found that
there was a bad memory stick ( 1 out of 2). then after replacing it, it happened again and it needed a
bios upgrade of the motherboard to work. I used memtest96+ to diagnose my problems.

Perhaps you can find a testing software for the dual core cpu from your cpu or motherboard vendor....
