I have a couple of 64-Bit Xeon's with CentOS 4.2 x86_64 installed on
them. They don't all have the same motherboards.
I've having a difficult time getting CentOS 4.2 x86_64 to boot on some
of them in SMP mode (UP works fine). After the installation of CD, it
boots up but kernel panics with the following error:
Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:992
This is the call trace:
apic_timer_interrupt+133
vgacon_cursor+0
oops_end+64
release_console_sem+369
error_exit+0
:scsi_mod:scsi_delete_timer+19
:3w_9xxx:twa_interrupt+1323
do_IRQ+197
mwait_idle+86
cpu_idle+26
The Uni processor works fine.
I tried the SMP kernel from Fedora Core 4 x86_64 which works fine as
well. Any idea what's going on here? I've already tried disabling as
many things from the BIOS as possible.
Thanks for any help.
