I see the same notice. Just before this notice I get: eth0: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 8000. eth0: PCI bus error, bus status 800000a0
This is on a Dell Lattitude C600 which has a 3com NIC. It only seems to happen on a reboot (not on a halt and then a boot). Many of the other reports I've read seem to suggest that pcmcia might be related to the problem. I have a very generic Prism 2.5 card (BenQ AWL100) in my pcmcia slot. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! https://launchpad.net/bugs/60053 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
