-tip testing found this boot hang:

Linux version 2.6.26-rc8-tip (mingo@dione) (gcc version 4.2.3) #12917
SMP Mon Jun 30 15:06:32 CEST 2008
[...]
CPU 1/1 -> Node 0
CPU: Physical Processor ID: 0
CPU: Processor Core ID: 1
CPU1: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ stepping 02
Brought up 2 CPUs
Total of 2 processors activated (8041.15 BogoMIPS).
[ hard hang ]

with this config:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Mon_Jun_30_14_54_19_CEST_2008.bad

full bootlog:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/hang-Mon_Jun_30_14_54_19_CEST_2008.bad

it should continue with this bootup sequence:

calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x1a0
net_namespace: 376 bytes
initcall net_ns_init+0x0/0x1a0 returned 0 after 0 msecs
calling init_smp_flush+0x0/0x60

i've bisected it down to:

--------------
| commit cc8160c56843201891766660e3816d2e546c1b17
| Author: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>
| Date: Fri Jun 27 14:29:50 2008 -0600
|
| sched: enable interrupts and drop rq-lock during newidle balancing
--------------

so i've reverted that change for now.

Ingo
