Haren, Yes. My first version of the patch did exactly this. Later, while discussing with you we decided that checking for "-1" for CPU ID is the right thing to identify the presence of the CPU. Yep. you are right on kdump boot, you do set cpuid to -1 when they are stopped. So, I guess I am okay with your fix. Thanks, Badari</pre> </blockquote> Ok, then I guess I'll take that as a thumbs-up. Waiting on Rachita's go-ahead... Thanks, Dave </html>
