I cannot debug kernel related issues. I change the bug's component to "kernel" at least for an analysis to find out whether or not it is really a kernel related issue. FYI: Perhaps this one is related: bnc#779790 Darren Freeman, is there something of interest in you /var/log/messages at the time "Feb 23 15:58:24" and/or in the "dmesg" output at the kernel time "[148830.733366]" when the message "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 38s!" happened? Please attach matching excepts from you /var/log/messages and/or from your "dmesg" output as MIME type text plain to this bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
