Do you have any idea how the code could avoid shooting itself in the foot? Do you think there is a SMP race in setting up the PCI bus. I was thinking of trying an identical UP build. I believe that all processors are enabled at the time the hpmc occurs. While there might be a hardware problem, the machine consistently boots 2.6.26-2-parisc64-smp without problems. Until I lost the hard drive, it was also running a 2.6.34 kernel. The debian kernels tend to have everything but the kitchen sink enabled. I may have an older version of this config still around. I did update all the firmware on the machine a couple of months ago. This definitely helped with various memory corruption issues that were occuring at boot time. I believe that HP listed the patch as critical. Anyway, there's a chance that this changed some of PDC responses. > Also, if there are any add-on PCI cards in the machine, consider > removing them. I will take a look in the machine when I get back from Costa Rica at the end of the week. I think there may be one or two scsi controllers. There is also a radion card in it somewhere.
