Hi, When I try to boot linuxnext on my exynos5420-peach-pit chromebook I have problems bringing up extra CPUs: 1. They don't come up 2. As they're coming up you can see U-Boot print out (!). This sounds similar to something that was happening during bringup where the other CPUs didn't realize that they were not the primary CPU and started the boot process all over again. Can someone from Samsung take a look, or point at any in-flight patches that will fix this? Thanks! Logs are below... I'm on linuxnext 20140605 + my patch to fix earlyprintk. I'm using <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/master/eclass/cros-kernel/exynos5_defconfig> but with CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8. -Doug --- Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
