I have a question on secondary cpu exploitation. At the end of secondary_start(), I'm not issuing 'stop_this_cpu' to apic_id 1. So this second core is still up and running. Just before jumping to elfboot, I want to run a small code, say, 'while(1){send a char to com1 port}' on this second core and let the BSP load and run linux. the secondary eip is still valid. I'll not show this core in mptable(thanks 2 Dr.YH). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks - Baski
