CPU #0: previous IPI still not cleared after 10mS
>From the looks of the code & comments surrounding where this message
is printed, this is a relatively bad thing.
This continues after the system is up, but eventually, the whole
machine locks with the exception of these messages being repeated at
the console. Can't even switch virtual consoles, warm reboot, nothing.
I would have guessed that an SMP kernel should be able to run on a single
CPU, only a bit less efficiently, but maybe that's not the case? I haven't
seen any discussion of SMP development here, so it it still going on or
has it stagnated?
