------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-05-03 00:25 ------- No, it's not a random behaviour. With "nmi_watchdog=0" the kernel runs stable, without it always fails to boot (tested approx. 10 times). Furthermore I have done some tests with the stripped kernel (APIC, PCI, PATA and ext3 enabled). These are the results, when booting without "nmi_watchdog=0": $ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 5868 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 245 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 12: 17 XT-PIC-XT i8042 14: 314 XT-PIC-XT ide0 15: 12 XT-PIC-XT ide1 NMI: 53 LOC: 5936 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 $ dmesg | grep "watchdog" Testing NMI watchdog ... OK. When I append "nmi_watchdog=0" I get the following output: $ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 7534 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 240 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 12: 17 XT-PIC-XT i8042 14: 312 XT-PIC-XT ide0 15: 12 XT-PIC-XT ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 7602 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 $ dmesg | grep "watchdog" Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda3 nmi_watchdog=0 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
