Hi Marc,

I dropped a 3,2 GHz P4 into my Gigabyte GA-8KNXP (Intel-875P) based system a few days ago and have had some headaches since.

- 70% of the boots fail during framebuffer initialization (ATI rage 128 based card) with HT enabled: black screen, no oops, Initialization of the framebuffer with vga=0x317
- System freezes randomly - it will run between 2 min. and 3 days before stopping without a oops or anything else.

The 4.10-pre7 kernel detects the CPUs and initializes them correctly, thanks to your previous work. If I disable HT in the BIOS, the sustem is stable as a rock.

If you have the time to chase this problem down, I will try to get the system to spit out some usefull debuging information. If on the otherside, you are waiting for 2.4.23aa or higher, I will wait and give it a try then.

Mit freundlichen gruessen / With kind regards,

Olaf Unterkofler
