Yep, see -EINVAL below. -Len http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm3/broken-out/hot-add-mem-x86_64-acpi-motherboard-fix.patch From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch set allow SPARSEMEM and RESERVE based hot-add to work. I have test both options and they work as expected. I am adding memory to the 2nd node of a numa system (x86_64). Major changes from last set is the config change and RESERVE enablment. This patch: Make ACPI motherboard driver not attach to devices/handles it dosen't expect. Fix a bug where the motherboard driver attached to hot-add memory event and caused the add memory call to fail.
