Re: soft lockup

[Stuart Anderson <anderson@ligo.caltech.edu>]

Here is another soft lockup after running dmesg -s 90000 that shows a deeper
call trace, but still has EOI. The 19 occurances after this one are back
to the shallower call trace. Do I have to recompile the kernel to get a
larger kernel ring buffer for dmesg to query?

Thanks.
