Subject: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! in 2.6.23.8

HI all,

I've just compiled 2.6.23.8 from kernel.org sources and I getting a
bunch of these soft lockups detected. This seems to be similar to
the problems reported here:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/19/345

but I am not as far as I am aware using the ondemand governor.

    > cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info 
    processor id:            0
    acpi id:                 0
    bus mastering control:   no
    power management:        no
    throttling control:      no
    limit interface:         no

What is suspisious is "Clocksource tsc unstable".

Dump from dmsg follows. Any light people can shed on this much
appreciated.

Cheers,
Erik
