Make sure you have Local APIC enabled (you should since it's SMP), and on your kernel command line (in Grub) add "lapic nmi_watchdog=2". (lapic isn't really needed, but I always add it so I don't forget to when working on UP machines). Run it again, and if it locks up hard, which probably means its spinning somewhere with interrupts disabled, the NMI will trigger and should give you another dump of where it's locked up. -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
