Not usually unless I modify my SRAT or I start pulling DIMMs, but yes, I've booted the kernel many times in the past with no node 0 online. As far as I know, there's no special casing that is needed for node 0 to assume it's online and I've tried to fix up places where that assumption has been made. I'm sure that node_online_map must include at least one online node, obviously, but there should be no requirement that it be node 0.

Yes, the online pxms all point to nodes that do not have the node id of 0.
Is it possible to try earlyprintk and get a serial console connected or reproduce it locally to find out where the problem is?
