Hi,
The boot issue with DL760 G2 issue with Hyper-Threading (16-way
logical) was root-caused to be coming from hardcoding of apic-version
during the acpi boot-up code. The attached patch fixes the issue, by
reading in the actual apic version. This apic-version is used later in
the boot process, to identify whether the processor supports xAPIC or
not. And that in turn was resulting in boot failure.
Please include in the ac-patchset.
Refer following lkml threads for detailed the problem description:
