Okay, fun. Thanks for confirming it. Well, I guess I get to try to
find some more modern hardware to track this down. Does booting with
init=/bin/sh get far enough to see if all the CPUs are online or anything
like that? I'm baffled about the "gets mostly to userspace" part. I'd
expect this to explode very badly if it misbehaved. Or maybe something
gets confused between how many CPUs are expected and how many actually
show up to the party. Hmmm.
