This issue is on Red Hat Engineering's list of planned work items for the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 release. Engineering resources have been assigned and barring unforeseen circumstances, Red Hat intends to include this item in the 4.4 release. Yep -- got all that. The issue is that x86_apicid is not defined for i386 :( I'll have to do some more thinkin' about the 32 bit side of things ... P. committed in stream U4 build 35.3. A test kernel with this patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/ I only see 35.2 there... what's the story? Oh, nevermind, I see what you're saying. seems like the first attempt to debug this would just to try loading the module on say a U2 install, it'll be easiest to debug there if there's a problem with the module. Looks good as far as the kernel module itself is concerned. This is from an Intel single dual-core CPU box. [root@dhcp59-204 ~]# modprobe lapic_status [root@dhcp59-204 ~]# cat /proc/lapics 0 0 1 1 -1 1 [root@dhcp59-204 ~]# uname -a Linux dhcp59-204.rdu.redhat.com 2.6.9-39.EL #1 Thu Jun 1 17:47:54 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Mike, I assume you loaded that on demand (ie, by using modprobe/lsmod)? P. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0575.html *** Bug 200746 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
