Hi
I tried to start my favorite tool, and discovered it wont fly on my HP BL460C G1
It samples few events then, seems to stop (no more NMI), other than that, machine still running correctly.
(8 cpus like that one

It is working correctly on 2.6.27
I tried a git bisect but quickly found a point where machine was not useable... (partly because of the problem with the VPD problem on 5708S (PCI: Limit VPD length for Broadcom 5708S)
