I presume that these CPUs are too old to be multicore, best they could have it hyperthreading. Harry, can you please share the contents of /proc/cpuinfo? Jeff, could you please try booting with parameter max_cpus=1? I wonder if it would make a difference. If it does, that would confirm your theory. > - We both run the same Dell BIOS A07 code. > - Harry's Linux kernel is slightly older than my 2.6.35.12-90 Fedora code. > - I think we would all agree that Jean's changes do not cause my crash > since that code works on Harry's machine but not on mine. > > Time permitting, I will start doing the research to submit a properly > documented bug against Fedora Core 14 regarding this code.

I've seen this nug hit an openSUSE user (on a laptop with one multi-core CPU), so it's definitely not specific to Fedora. It may be related to the version of gcc used by the distribution though. If Fedora people aren't interested, we may open a bug on bugzilla.kernel.org instead. > In closing, I agree with Harry: it is very nice to have some hardware > monitoring in a Dell platform.
