Hello Vince,
I must say thank you !
With your work I can enable all 8 CPUs on my Odroid HC1.
lscpu before:
[root@odroidh1 ~]# lscpu
Architektur: armv7l
Byte-Reihenfolge: Little Endian
CPU(s): 8
Liste der Online-CPU(s): 0-3
Liste der Offline-CPU(s): 4-7
Thread(s) pro Kern: 1
Kern(e) pro Socket: 4
Sockel: 1
lscpu after:
Architektur: armv7l
Byte-Reihenfolge: Little Endian
CPU(s): 8
Liste der Online-CPU(s): 0-7
Thread(s) pro Kern: 1
Kern(e) pro Socket: 4
Sockel: 2
Greetings

Hi Andreas,
Glad to hear it's working on your side as well. Could you also check the
number at the end of the r8152 line in lsusb -t with the default boot line
without preloads? Is it 480M or 5000M?
Best regards,
Vince
