Hmm, what can I say.

The following boot-parameter does work:
kernel (hd0,6)/linux-2.6.21.1 root=/dev/hda3 nmi_watchdog=0

And this one does not:
kernel (hd0,6)/linux-2.6.21.1 root=/dev/hda3

$ uname -a
Linux topeka 2.6.21.1 #1 Wed May 2 21:06:56 CEST 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
processor 1400MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

How can I verify that the NMI watchdog is disabled by default here?

As an attempt, I have deactivated all kernel options except APIC in my
kernel-config. After that the kernel does not freeze when "Setting up PCI
resources". But I have discovered some interesting kernel output:

Testing NMI watchdog ... <6>Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.
OK.
Using IPI Shortcut mode

The line "Testing NMI watchdog ... <6>" does not occur, when booting the kernel
with nmi_watchdog=0.

Maybe a module enables the NMI watchdog or something like that? I can attach my
.config and my stripped .config if that helps.
