For the kernel with the revert reverted I'll do some videos later on today.. I need the box to do some work first :) So far .. the kernel with the reverted revert + Mike's patch ( but even without Mike's patch ) will trigger an bug in mce code , with mce=off it will trigger an bug in microcode code , with dis_ucode_ldr we trigger an bug(s) in smp_call_*() and hrtimer_*() functions.. Also this 2 liner patch seems to break hell .. at least on my box. Regards, Gabriel C
