Hi,
while bugging the wireless devs about a freeze i've discovered an hardware bug:
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem! Please contact your hardware vendor CPU 0 4 northbridge Northbridge Watchdog error bit57 = processor context corrupt bit61 = error uncorrected bus error 'generic participation, request timed out generic error mem transaction generic access, level generic' STATUS b200000000070f0f MCGSTATUS 4
this is triggered byt the ath9k wireless driver when booting with smp > 1 here is the kernel bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11527#c68
here I asked support in the official AMD forum: http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=101051
I ask you this as you are the "CPU ERRATA WORKAROUNDS" man, and I CC people which are listed in the "X86 ARCHITECTURE (32-BIT AND 64-BIT)" entry.
Best Regards, Matteo Croce
