This makes no sense to me; I can't figure out why the panic is happening at all. Can you send me your kernel config file? Also, please make absolutely sure that your sources are up to date and build a new world and kernel. What's happening is the w_spin flag in the witness structure for Mark's harvest mutex is being set when it should not be. But I can't see where this could happen unless someone is randomly overwriting memory. > > PS: Yes, I know there will be periods of instability, but > you (the SMP developers) can't possibly have all combinations > of MP hardware. > > PPS: "options USER_LDT" is currently broken for MP kernels. > Attached is a patch that should fix this. Please let me know and I'll commit it.
