X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~59^2~15^2~158 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d1675b41b02d64bd1185903ea0d25a8c0bb6dea;p=pandora-kernel.git [PATCH] i386 kexec-on-panic: Don't shutdown the apics. It is dangerous to shutdown the apics in machine_crash_shutdown. With my previous patch to initialize apics in init_IRQ we should be able to boot a kernel without this. As long as we reinitialize the APICs we don't care what state they were in during bootup. This should make machine_crash_shutdown noticeably more reliable. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
