Hi Timothy and all, Apologise for replying to an old thread. I noticed that nobody replied to you on this thread, may I know if you have managed to find the root cause of the problem, and the solution? I seems to have similar issues with one of our hypervisors. We are using CloudStack 4.2.0 and KVM. The error message is similar, started with "BUG: soft lockup - CPU stuck" error message. Nothing can be found on cloudstack-agent.log file.
