Ok, booted up and not hanged, but those messages below don't show up
anywhere. I've tested with CONFIG_NR_CPUS=16 and 8 as well. Just got 8
cpus

More than 8 CPUs detected - skipping them.
Use CONFIG_X86_GENERICARCH and CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP.

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
0-7

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_X86_PC=y


Looks like it's not going into this condition
+ if (def_to_bigsmp && nr_cpu_ids > 8) {


Shall this be put back so that it'll show the message?
- if (def_to_bigsmp && apicid > 8) {
- printk(KERN_WARNING
- "More than 8 CPUs detected - skipping them.\n"
- "Use CONFIG_X86_GENERICARCH and CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP.\n");
- }


Thanks,
Jeff.
