BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 10s!


Hello there

I'm running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on a PowerEdge 1950 (two CPU, two Core)

I'm getting the following error every 10 seconds:

Code:

The next like will be another BUG: soft lockup... I believe the Out of Memory is slightly misleading as i don't appear to get all that much swap space being activated.

When this happens the systems is ping able, telnet able (so telnet indicates ports are open and responsive) but dead at the console, not ssh able and generally not very interactive...

I should mention it does not appear to affect the same process everytime, rather it is the CPU (core) that's the consistent factor. I'm going out on a limb and thinking i may have a dodgy CPU / the CPU is over heating, but i've only just started investigating it.

Anyone seen this before? My google was rather fruitless. Any help would be appreciated.

any help appreciated

If it's always with the same core, then I would agree that you have a dodgy CPU. I have not seen that same exact error, but I have come across hardware issues that normal diagnostics are unable to catch.

Some more research on the issue indicates that the message itself (BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 10s!) indicates that there is a kernel bug.

From the error message it would appear that there is either an issue with the bnx2 module (odd since i've got it working on 30+ other systems), bonding (or bonding using bnx2) or the kernel (or the kernel using bonding [possibly with regards to bnx2 or not]).

Anyone else have any thoughts? I should probably mention that my kernel is not tainted, and i have the same issue on two hosts (both cluster nodes).
