Description Milos Malik 2011-04-18 07:54:45 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm seeing weird messages on the console of a freshly installed machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.1-20110415.n.0
kernel-headers-2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.noarch
kernel-devel-2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
not sure

Actual results:
Message from syslogd@dell-pesc1425-01 at Apr 18 03:48:06 ...
 kernel:Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 on CPU 3.

Message from syslogd@dell-pesc1425-01 at Apr 18 03:48:06 ...
 kernel:Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?

Message from syslogd@dell-pesc1425-01 at Apr 18 03:48:06 ...
 kernel:Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

Expected results:
no such messages
