Hi Gentoo. I have recently got a FX8350 and all is going very well. After a week of using I have had no issues and then realised I had not set man number of cpus in kernel config.
This was set to 6. So as FX8350 is an eight core beast. I decided to set to 8. Upon reboot the boot hangs at waiting for uevents to be processed. This hangs for 60 seconds and then starts spitting out the following timeout killing /sbin/modprobe -bv xcpu_vendor 0002 + lots of 4 long numbers. Sorry, I cannot trap these as they fly by. in a continous loop. Reset required. Booting from old kernel is still ok (6 cores set). Looking in /proc/cpuinfo there are only 6 cores. I can boot ok from Windows which shows 8 cores and I have also updated BIOS to latest version. Any ideas Is there any way to detect or test that I using 8 cores? -- John D Maunder
