From 1f53e5a96a35c2d7bb4679ea732ee5fe2b3bee1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 09:04:27 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: Added note The example that changes the kernel configuration by enabling multiple processor support failed. The reason is because of bug 2256. This bug was discovered during Release 1.2. Apparently it also affects 1.1.2. I have added the Note explaining the bug.
