> assume first cpu only have 1G ram, and other 31 socket will have bunch of ram
That doesn't seem to be a very realistic assumption. Can you even still buy 1G DIMMs for servers? I'd think that a minimum would be to have each of four channels populated with a 4G DIMM - so 16GB on first cpu. But even that feels rather low. I think that making sure that the system can boot is good (and maybe it should ignore/override[*] parameters that would prevent booting). But let's be realistic about the cases we actually have to deal with (before somebody comes and talks about systems with just 16MB). -Tony [*] with some noisy warnings in the console log -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
