Insufficient data. Please try a standard 2.6.4 or 2.4.25 kernel
and provide the complete dmesg boot log and the .config used.

nmi_watchdog=1 may be broken on some chipsets, but nmi_watchdog=2
should work, at least in a standard kernel with oprofile disabled.

Hello,

in my box (Tyan Tiger MPX / 2x AMD Athlon) the NMI watchdog never worked
on any kernel that I tried (2.4.x, 2.6.x). I always found:
| activating NMI Watchdog ... done.
| testing NMI watchdog ... CPU#0: NMI appears to be stuck!

But there is one exception: 2.6.3-mm4 shows:
| activating NMI Watchdog ... done.
| testing NMI watchdog ... OK.

[2.6.3-mm4 was the only -mmX kernel I tried so far.]

With 2.6.4-mm1 the NMI watchdog is again not functional in my box. Any
ideas?
