Please turn off the kernel's nmi watchdog by placing nmi_watchdog=0 in your menu.lst file. Let me know if this solves your problem.

Hi;

One of our buildfarm servers (HP Proliant DL380g5) gaves following BUG output
and fails to boot while trying to "modprobe hpwdt" module with 2.6.25.4 +
current stable-queue patchset + and some distro specific patches (but none of
the patches touches drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c)

Removing hpwdt.ko and rebooting solves this problem, you can find .config/full
dmesg and lspci -vv outputs from [1]

I didn't try 2.6.26-rc4 on that machine cause the only relevant change seems
following

git log v2.6.25..HEAD ./drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c

commit 7f7f894c6d3285407b2493d1575500fb25e3d495
Author: Mingarelli, Thomas <Thomas.Mingarelli@...com>
