Hi, the proposed patch will only fix this problem for SoCs with gic_present=1 i have just sent a patch [1] that makes it work on lantiq 34kc socs that have gic_present=0 John [1] http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2012-02/msg00140.html On 23/02/12 11:11, Deng-Cheng Zhu wrote: > I should have contacted the author (Raghu Gandham) of a fix for this > issue to get it into the mainline.

It works fine in UP but with SMP it deadlocks during bootup (both CPUs gets idle).
