I'm trying to isolate a driver problem that appears to be smp

boot it so that only one cpu is used. Ideally, I'll be able to tell
if running off of two cores is causing problems with the usb driver.
So the only thing I've found that I can pass to the kernel during
boot is maxprocs which doesn't seem to actually deal with the number
of cpus but rather the number of processes.
Is there any boot variable that will prevent the second cpu from
coming up?

Bill,

Try installing the non-smp kernel and booting that kernel, instead of
the smp kernel.

This I will do but I would also like to be able to pass an arg to the smp kernel telling it to only use on core.
