1. Why does VMware need max_cstate=1 to load quickly? It should not, and the fact that it does means that something somewhere is seriously broken.
2. Why does the "max_csate=1" workaround help only on the dual-core boxes, while the single-core boxes still fail to load quickly? I'm glad that we deleted run-time access to max_cstate -- it seems to have exposed a real bug that needs fixing and has gone unreported until now. Indeed, when the real bug is fixed, I propose that we again move to delete max_cstate as a run-time API. -Len -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
