SubjectRe: 2.4.0-test6-pre7 sparc-smp boot failure (bootmem_init)

Hi,

This is almost certainly the HIGHMEM code I added recently. Can you do some
testing for me? Enable PROM_DEBUG_CONSOLE in arch/sparc/kernel/setup.c and
log the output. What cpus are in this machine?

This is expected since you arent using any highmem pages with mem=192m.
