Huge kernel boots--Huge.SMP (and generic.smp) kernel will not
by MTCAT from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DMA7)
Hi everyone,
I've installed Slackware 12 (2.6.21.5) on a dual core VortexDX3 SBC (PC104+) form factor.
I've managed to get the non-smp kernel to boot, but with that, I'm only running on one of two available cores.
When I try to boot the SMP kernel, both the "huge" and "generic" (with an initrd made with mkinitrd) it hangs.
I've attached a screenshot here of the behaviour when trying to boot the generic smp kernel.
Any ideas how I can get one of the SMP kernels to boot ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
