Hmm, still haven't figured this out. I just saw this one this morning: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

I am starting to wonder if it is a bug in the soft lockup detection. Maybe it really isn't locked up but just momentarily appears to be. I will try turning off the soft lockup detection and see what happens. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
