Hi Gentoo. |

I have recently got a FX8350 and all is going very well. |
| 4 |
After a week of using I have had no issues and then realised I had not |
| 5 |
set man number of cpus in kernel config. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This was set to 6. So as FX8350 is an eight core beast. I decided to |
| 8 |
set to 8. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Upon reboot the boot hangs at |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
waiting for uevents to be processed. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This hangs for 60 seconds and then starts spitting out the following |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
timeout killing /sbin/modprobe -bv xcpu_vendor 0002 + lots of 4 long |
| 17 |
numbers. Sorry, I cannot trap these as they fly by. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
in a continous loop. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Reset required. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Booting from old kernel is still ok (6 cores set). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Looking in /proc/cpuinfo there are only 6 cores. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I can boot ok from Windows which shows 8 cores and I have also updated |
| 28 |
BIOS to latest version. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Any ideas |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Is there any way to detect or test that I using 8 cores? |
