Hello!
I am wondering exactly the same thing because this error causes my machine
to crash too (in quite the same way as yours).
I was suggested this might be related to a CPU-problem so I switched them.
This caused my machine (MS6120, 2xPII-350) to be extremely unstable (up
less than 5 minutes the three times I dared to try). Changing back CPUs
again makes it average an uptime of maybe 5-6 hours. But now another
problem occurs;
With regular intervals (about two minutes), I get a ghostload on CPU0 (of
about 50%) and after some ten seconds I also get a simalar load on CPU1.
After another ten seconds the load on CPU0 ends and finally the load on
CPU1 ends. This goes on for hours (consuming about 10% of overall cpu),
till it crashes
I have this behaviour in 2.2.9 but I didnt in 2.2.7. On the other hand
2.2.9 proved more stable than 2.2.7...
Finally, I always get "stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#0)", never on CPU#1.
That means CPU#0 even when I switched them.
Brendan, this probably didnt help you a lot. The only thing I know is that
the error message comes from smp.c, but this kind of code is beyond my
understanding.
I consider changing a CPU (or both). I had hoped the error message
would change CPU when I did, because then it would be easy to choose which
one to blame. Any suggestions? My vendor wont be to happy to change booth
CPUs because I already changed the mainboard twice ;-) Noone thought the
CPUs was bad then... Hmm, yes, the cpus have same stepping.
