We really don't need any more "me too" posts, though. Please only post new comments if you have new information. The cause of the messages is well known. It affects -desktop because -desktop has preemption enabled. It affects versions that have the generic apci table override code it in because, well, that's the code that's causing the messages. Here's the thing. Outside of the oops in comment #22, which is a real crash, this problem is _not_ crashing systems. It's warning during boot. It looks like a real oops, but it's not a real oops. Here's why: The code paths are calling cond_resched() which was added to a number of places to improve latency. Part of it checks to ensure that the code is not running with a spinlock held, in interrupt context, or some other conditions. It issues the message everyone's been reporting when it detects that. Generally, it's a good thing. For the code that we're using here, though, init hasn't even been started yet so it _can't_ actually schedule. The warnings are cosmetic even if they're really ugly. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
