Irq_table not loaded when boot from etherboot

[steven james]

Greetings,

Actually, hardwaremain is called when etherboot is used. LinuxBIOS itself
leaves the mptable in memory for the kernel to find later based on
signature.

Your kernel definatly found the table.

You'll need to boot the board with the OEM BIOS and use the util/mptable
utility to dump an MP table that works for that board.

G'day,
sjames
