Re: [Xen-devel] Fix for 'acpi=off'

I tried the acpi=off on my 2-by x86_64 box running 32-bit SLES9.
Everything seems to work just fine except for a couple of pfn and page
fault non-fatal errors.
But with acpi=ht, Dom0 hangs while trying to bring up the SCSI devices.
I have included debug output for both cases.
 
 
I think this is the issue you're running into:
 
SMP mptable: no processors registered!
BIOS bug, MP table errors detected!...
... disabling SMP support. (tell your hw vendor)
 
 
With acpi=off acpi_lapic is non-zero so this code works:
   /* ACPI may have already provided this data */
   if (!acpi_lapic)
           MP_processor_info(m);
But with acpi=ht, MP table processor info is ignored. I worked around it
by ignoring the processor entries in the MP table always and setting
num_processors=1.
