Hi, I'd previously (2011-03-28) run into an issue with commit
f99a99330f85a84c346ddeb4adc72dbfad9b9e3e
kernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down events
but wasn't sure that this commit was the cause of a problem or
simply revealing symptoms. I have since re-run a git-bisect and the
same commit was implicated.
On on old Pentium-II-266 machine with 440BX chipset I would get
numerous "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 63s!" type errors in
dmesg with different applications being reported and even a command
like:
Does the problem go away if you boot with 'nmi_watchdog=0'?
Cheers,
Don
Yes, with plain 2.6.39-rc5-git2 I had problems with shutting down and
with "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 63s!" errors.
After adding 'nmi_watchdog=0' I could cleanly shutdown and have not seen
any more "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 63s!" errors.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Arthur.
