These machines would mysteriously lock up after considerable periods of time and the problem was cured by disabling the NMI watchdog. Nobody was ever able to solve it, so we changed it to default to off. So much has changed in there that we might have fixed it by accident, and I do recall a couple of fundamental and subtle NMI bugs being fixed. So yeah, it might be worth enabling it by default again. Care to send a patch which does that? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
