Neither linux-4.3-rc1 nor linux-4.3-rc2 boot properly on my Intel
Core 2 E6600---lost one of two cores. Google search found one
other person reporting linux-4.3-rc1 also booting with only one core.
His Intel CPU was a year or two newer than mine.
linux-4.3-rc1 showed more problems during boot including something
about mtrr and another thing I forgot. The mtrr and ? are not
showing in -rc2. I had to photograph early boot to capture boot
change from a normal working kernel. (My Fedora is 14, gcc 4.5.1).

Booting the kernel.
smpboot: do_boot_cpu failed(-1) to wakeup CPU#1
(end insert)
but continues to bootup and works with one CPU.
/proc/cpuinfo shows only one of two CPU cores:
siblings : 1
cpu cores : 1
(both should be : 2 )
With -rc2, /proc/mtrr is same as a working kernel (-rc1?):
reg00: base=0x0d0000000 ( 3328MB), size= 256MB, count=1: uncachable
reg01: base=0x0e0000000 ( 3584MB), size= 512MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 8192MB, count=1: write-back
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Don
