Bug#648191: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: latest squeeze kernel doesn't boot on Dell Optiplex GX270 if hyperthreading enabled
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-38
Severity: normal
Previous versions of this package, for example 2.6.32-31, had no problem
booting on this hardware.
Version 2.6.32-38 spontaneously reboots during the boot process unless
hyperthreading is disabled. (Says something about activating 2nd CPU.
I'll try and get a serial console hooked up tomorrow to get the exact
message).

Could you test an intermediate version, say, 2.6.32-34squeeze1? Earlier
versions are available at
<http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-2.6.32-5-686/>.
Ben.

I'm really sorry but I am unable to reproduce this bug.
I tried 2.6.32-34squeeze1, it worked
2.6.32-36 worked
2.6.32-37 worked
Just to make sure I tried the version that was giving me problems...
2.6.32-38 worked.
WTF!
I must have made some unimaginably stupid mistake, but I can't work out
what at the moment.
