Hey Seth.

To reply to your earlier question:

@zyga: I'm honestly very surprised that the config change had that drastic an impact on the single-CPU system. Can you tell me what 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible' says on that system?

This was in a virtual machine with one CPU and the file listed above says:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
0-127

Interestingly, using more CPUs (4 virtual CPUs) the numbers change to:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
0-7

So it looks like a bug in the kernel or the VM software (in this case vmware).

I will give the new kernels a try and report back.
