Description Tomasz Torcz 2011-02-01 09:40:04 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrading my rawhide boxes to 2.6.38-rc kernels, dmesg is filled with following messages every few seconds"

[  491.782610] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 1. 
[  491.782617] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? 
[  491.782622] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue 
[  541.524621] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 0.

Type 21 and 31 appear. It wasn't the case with .37 kernels on those machines.
Hardware is pretty standard Dell Optiplex GX620, with pentium 4 CPU.
Smolt profile of one machine is here:
http://smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_7d62f4b4-f2f3-4c70-9a04-0aca1f270345

The NMI messages dissapear after issuing "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog" (as suggested by powertop).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.38-0.rc2.git7.1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Boot computer.
