I did two major changes when upgrading from 22-rc6-mm1 to 23-rc1-mm1.
I switched from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM and from SLAB to SLUB.
The other combinations:
SPARSEMEM+SLAB:
[ 0.000000] early_node_map[4] active PFN ranges
[ 0.000000] 0: 0 -> 159
[ 0.000000] 0: 256 -> 524288
[ 0.000000] 1: 524288 -> 917488
[ 0.000000] 1: 1048576 -> 1179648
PANIC: early exception rip ffffffff807c4ac5 error 2 cr2 ffffe20003000010
[ 0.000000]
[ 0.000000] Call Trace:
DISCONTIGMEM+SLUB:
[ 39.833272] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[ 40.016659] Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't
work! Try using the 'noapic' kernel parameter
DISCONTIGMEM+SLAB:
Boots until it can't find / because I didn't append the correct initrd
It also hit the MP-BIOS bug, but was not bothered by it:
[ 36.696965] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[ 36.880537] Using local APIC timer interrupts.
[ 36.932215] result 12500283
[ 36.940581] Detected 12.500 MHz APIC timer.
So I think, I will postpone SPARSEMEM until -mm2, as there are seem to
be some problems in that area (Re: 2.6.23-rc1-mm1 sparsemem_vmemamp
fix)
But maybee I will get SLUB to work. ;)
