Hi,

How do I go about getting the NMI Watchdog to work on a Celeron Mendocino
400 MHz with no local APIC (nmi_watchdog=1/2 doesn't work, same kernel
works [/proc/interrupts show NMI's occuring 1/sec] on a 1GHz P3 with local
APIC)

Thanks,
MaZe.

The NMI watchdog requires a working local APIC.
So you can't, unless you upgrade the CPU.
