Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.11.7 Distribution: CRUX The computer is a: Compaq DL 360 Dual P-III 1266 Mhz 512 MB SDRAM PC133 ECC You can find a full dmesg here: http://users.opengate.be/~glenn/smpcompaq/dmesg.txt Upon "halt", after the rc scripts finish, the kernel seems to crash with this message: Badness in send_IPI_mask_bitmask at arch/i386/kernel/smp.c:167 Here's a screenshot of this: http://users.opengate.be/~glenn/smpcompaq/dsc00268.jpg This does not happen upon reboot. If you want more information don't hesitate to contact me. Glenn

Could you check if you can start with no_broadcast=1 boot arg and see if it repeats itself?
Looks like this got fixed after 2.6.15... http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113314507315388&w=2 Could you try this patch instead.
This issue should already be fixed. Please reopen this bug if it's still present in kernel 2.6.16-rc5.
You can remove the -p option to halt to avoid this problem in earlier kernels.
