Customer try to decrease the kernel size by remove some configuration and found kernel panic after remove CONFIG_SMP when reboot.

kernel configuration with CONFIG_SMP (imx6sll_deconfig_SMP=y.txt)

kernel configuration without CONFIG_SMP (imx6sll_deconfig_SMP=n.txt)

Hi m.c.

standard way described in nxp documentation is to use

command-line option of 'nosmp' or 'maxcpus=0' will disable SMP.

For issues with kernel configurations (as this is general linux issue)

suggest post question on kernel mail list

Majordomo Lists at VGER.KERNEL.ORG 

Best regards
igor
