Hi,

I decided to see what cgroups is all about, and followed the instructions
in Documentation/cgroups.txt :-) It happened when I did this:

    [root@damson /dev/cgroup/Vegard 0]
    # echo 1 > cpuset.cpus

I can also provide the kernel config if necessary.

Here is my config and vmlinux:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/vegard/kernels/20080621-v2.6.26-rc7/

By the way, I was doing CPU hotplug/unplug at the time.

Thanks :)
