| |
Hello; with the latest git on a macbook the system can barely boot without freezing, a work around for me at leat is either disable smp, or once booted turn on glxgears,or compiling the kernel i.g. when using the processors I'm not receiving a freeze, only when everything starts lowering down. in dmesg I'm noticing BIOS bug, APIC version is 0 for CPU#0! fixing up to 0x10. (tell you're hw vendor) could this be the reason for the system freezes?, also I didnt have a camera handy on me but the screen spit out = Bug spinlock lockup on CPU#0 swapper/0. c17fa7c0 PID 0, comm: swapper not tainted. I dont have a problem disabling smp, except when I cat /proc/cpuinfo I don't see anything about my cores. I know this is a stupid question but will it hurt the system if smp is disabled for the macbook pro ati chipset.? regards;
