Removing acpi=off helps with the CPU detection problem. The kernel is
still really slow, though. From /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 1
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 6
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
stepping : 5
cpu MHz : 375.000
cache size : 2048 KB
Why is MHz on 375!? I tried cpufreq-selector, but nothing changed. Maybe
calling acpi_cpufreq_init+0x0/0x90
initcall acpi_cpufreq_init+0x0/0x90 returned -19 after 0 msecs
There's also this:
SMP: Allowing 2 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs
(but CPU hotplug still work, is the line above about something
different, like physical hotplug?)
Apart from that, with your patch applied, hotplug seems to work OK (no
warnings).
Okay, now I used cpufreq-selector to change to "ondemand" governor,
and MHz goes back to 3000. Weird. Why would "performance" governor put
my machine to a constant 375?
Thanks,
