Can you please check if the appended patch fixes your issue? Thanks. --- From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: x86: fix calling enable_IR_x2apic() twice with SMP kernel on !SMP boards Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus leading to kernel panic. Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing() from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.
