this did the trick, rc6 plus your fix and the NMI watchdog works again! Thanks! I suspect other code (oprofile?) broke due to this too. below is a tidied up patch for upstream application. Must-have for 2.6.22. Ingo -----------------> From: Björn Steinbrink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [patch, 2.6.22-rc6] fix nmi_watchdog=2 bootup hang, take #2 wrmsrl() is broken, dropping the upper 32bits of the value to be written. This broke the NMI watchdog on AMD hardware. (and it probably broke other code too.)
