Unfortunately it doesn't seem to. Attached you may find some info I could dump out, as a snapshot of what I'm seeing on my fresh 2.6.9-rc3-mm2-T0.0smp kernel.
Things to note:
- vp_info: the general state of VP tunnables. - dmesg: some badness occurrences, worth to look and fix. - config: the kernel .config file. - top-100: top output, showing that ksoftirqd/1 is consuming 99.9% of one, but only one, of the virtual CPUs, permanentely.
The overall system behavior is hardly better than what I've complained before: if I can get to X, the mouse(s) don't work (either USB or PS/2); calling /sbin/modprobe is asking for trouble; most of the times, it stalls while boot-initing. Can't hardly make anything with it :(
