I'm thinking it is the router. Look what I found here <http://seriousbirder.com/blogs/linux-kernel-bug-soft-lockup-cpu1-stuck/>: { “kernel:… [5710660.580043] BUG: soft lockup – CPU#0 stuck …” This error message appeared up to 10 times a day, different processes, random times. Couldn’t find an answer anywhere. Also had frequent “carrier dropped” messages on the cable modem interface. Replacing the cable modem solved both problems. } I don't have the carrier dropped problem but that might be because I am using the router as a switch. Thoughts?
