Are all interrupts supposed to be handled by CPU0 on x86_64, or is something amiss? I'm getting the following on Mandrake Corporate Server 2.1:

I see this behavior on systems using either the MSI or Tyan dual-opteron boards. I also see it on RedHat's preview x86_64 distribution (kernel version 2.4.20-9.2).

I'm still trying to get 2.5.69 to boot correctly, so I don't have results there yet. On RedHat it hangs after "Booting the kernel..." (and yes, I have CONFIG_VT, and CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE on). Any ideas?

Turn *on* CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE or how is it called.
