From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx On some boxes several processors use the same processor bus id. But they are located in different scope. For example: \_SB.SCK0.CPU0 \_SB.SCK1.CPU0 As they use the same bus id, OS will complain the following kernel OOPS when registering proc I/F. >------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register+0x148/0x180() Hardware name: Sunrise Ridge proc_dir_entry 'processor/CPU0' already registered Modules linked in: processor(+) thermal_sys hwmon Pid: 255, comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc3MASHLEY #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8023f7ef>] warn_slowpath+0xb1/0xe5 [<ffffffff8036243b>] ? ida_get_new_above+0x190/0x1b1 [<ffffffff803625a8>] ? idr_pre_get+0x5f/0x75 [<ffffffff8030b2f6>] proc_register+0x148/0x180 [<ffffffff8030b4ff>] proc_mkdir_mode+0x3d/0x52 [<ffffffff8030b525>] proc_mkdir+0x11/0x13 [<ffffffffa0014b89>] acpi_processor_start+0x755/0x9bc [processor] Rename the processor device bus id.
