NetBSD erlite3 11.0 NetBSD 11.0 (ERLITE3) #3: Sat Sep  5 17:07:05 UTC 2026  root@erlite3:/usr/obj/sys/arch/evbmips/compile/ERLITE3 evbmips

>Description:
I applied the patch from https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/req-11.cgi?show=472 to 11.0 source, added the following entries to the kernel config not present in the OCTEON config:

# MP
options        MULTIPROCESSOR

# config
options        INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE
options        DEBUG   


built and booted the kernel. On boot, the kernel crashed when it touched

"This exception shouldn’t happen. I think interrupts should be really be disabled at this point to prevent this."



>How-To-Repeat:
Take 11.0 source, apply patch from https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/req-11.cgi?show=472 to 11.0 source, add the following entries to the kernel config not present in the OCTEON config:

# MP
options        MULTIPROCESSOR

# config
options        INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE
options        DEBUG   

build and boot this kernel on a Ubiquite EdgeRouter Lite (Erlite3).
