Subject: Re: 2.6.23-rt1 lockup after loading HAL deamon

Hi

I have recompiled kernel with OPROFILE disabled. I am sending in
attachment /proc/interrupts (i ran it 3 times with 2 sec delay) and
netconsole log. Lockup in the lock is software made with ./lockup.
The kernel still locks 4-5minutes after boot without any further
messages (waited more than 2 minutes). Any ideas?
