If we are discussing patch #2, then that still has problems. My comments and dirty-nasty-clobber are based on patch #2.
Patch #1 never booted and barfed a huge OOPS in CPU1.
I don't have a copy of the output but the gagging happened near this point : VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 48k freed
Let me make a full disk duplication with a FastTrak and hard crash and wreck a copy of my system. It takes about 30-45 minutes to perform a RAID 1 hardware copy. No, hardware RAID 1 is still vapor-ware and the darn thing will not boot on a SMP box.............
