Title: Bootcode maxcpus?
Post by: althalus on November 26, 2012, 08:57:13 PM

I'm experimenting with tinycore64 (and potentially corepure64 later) and stumbled on an interesting problem - I kept getting an error along the lines of:
"Fixing recursive fault, but reboot is needed"

After vague memories of someone else running into this, and being given the suggestion to try with maxcpus=0, I was able to get core64 to boot. But my question now is, what does this bootcode DO? I seem unable to find documentation for it on my own...

Hi althalus
See this link for a brief explanation and a link to kernel boot codes:

Ah, many thanks Rich. Now how did I miss that? Far more comprehensive than anything i turned up on my own.
