There were some posts about this, the most recent is: http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=121009166228271&w=2 I'm still experiencing this issue on a J6750. I've gotten this w/kernels 2.6.26 thru 2.6.29. Other than the missing cpu, things seem to function just fine. Increasing the timeout in smp.c line 410 to 100000 did not help.
