Hi The kernel 5.18 doesn't boot on my C8000 with two dual-core CPUs. It hangs at this point: [ 0.000000] NR_IRQS: 80 [ 0.000002] sched_clock: 64 bits at 1000MHz, resolution 1ns, wraps every 4398046511103ns [ 0.107049] Console: colour dummy device 160x64 [ 0.166791] Calibrating delay loop... 1991.60 BogoMIPS (lpj=3317760) [ 0.270079] pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301 [ 0.330158] random: get_random_bytes called from net_ns_init+0x118/0x4c8 with crng_init=0 [ 0.330394] Mount-cache hash table entries: 16384 (order: 5, 131072 bytes, linear) [ 0.536892] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 16384 (order: 5, 131072 bytes, linear) [ 0.644729] cblist_init_generic: Setting adjustable number of callback queues.

[ 0.990084] smp: Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU I bisected it and it is caused by the commit 62773112acc55d29727465d075fc61ed08a0a532 ("parisc: Switch from GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES to GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY") When I revert this patch on the kernel 5.18 (and resolve several conflcits), the kernel boots.
