Subject: nmi watchdog and netfinity lockups.
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 00:19:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201921.1019521163@[10.1.1.3]> (raw)
Have been having apparently random lockups on an ibm netfinity 7100. The
only messages generated have been the following in dmesg.
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... works.
added the following:
append = "nmi_watchdog=0"
to the lilo.conf file and the lockups seemed to have subsided. 17 days up!
woo-hoo. Anyway just curious about the wierd science behing this problem
and if I can expect it to go away completely.
BTW kernel version 2.4.18 and please reply off list as I am not subscribed.
Thanks for any help. Andy
