Do we know why they are stuck? I really don't like this fix. The reason we're doing a kdump is because the first kernel has panicked, possibly with locks held or data structures corrupted. Calling cpu_up() then goes and tries to run a bunch of code in the crashed kernel, which increases the chance of us just wedging completely. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
