--- Comment #24 from Jan Bouwhuis
Googling around has led to a few theories:
* BIOS update needed: http://communities.vmware.com/message/953833 (old thread) * VMWare bug (?) not scheduling kernel enough: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790032 * Linux bug with boot parameter workaround: http://www.csharpest.net/?p=168
Regarding that last one, the claim is that setting the boot parameters "pci=noacpi acpi=off noapic" works around this problem.
I would be interested if other people can try that and see what happens (I will also be trying it).
Adjusting the boot parameters "pci=noacpi acpi=off noapic" did stabilize my VM. But on heavy load of the hostsystem soft lockups still occur. -- 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.
