Subject2.6.27rc1 cannot boot more than 8CPUs
I've a Dell R900 with 4 quad-core Xeon processors (total 16CPUs), but
can only managed to boot up with CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8. Setting
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=16 causes the kernel to hang while booting.


Here's the dmesg with CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 ...

CPU6: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L7345 @ 1.86GHz stepping 0b
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]: passed.

Booting processor 7/26 ip 6000

Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 3723.85 BogoMIPS (lpj=7447700)
CPU: L1 I cache: 32K, L1 D cache: 32K
CPU: L2 cache: 4096K

*** Hangs here ***


How can I debug this further? I'm using the latest linux git pull.


Thanks,
Jeff.
