Hi, As per your suggestion, I've enabled nmi_watchdog. The error traceback was: SOFT LOCKUP Detected on CPU #1
softlockup_tick invalidate_bh_lru update_process_times smp_local_time_interrupt smp_apic_timer_interrupt apic_timer_interrupt __smp_call_function on_each_cpi invalidate_bh_lru smp_call_function invalidate_bh_lru on_each_cpu invalidate_bdev kill_bdev __blkdev_put __fput __filp_close sys_close system_call Has anyone seen errors similar to this?
