Hi Hugo,

I had a simliar problem and I played around to get an idea
of the reason "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0".

Summary:
The error may be produced by enabling SMP during kernel build
and no SMP processor is there,just a single processor.

Well, I had the following:
We have here two DELL PowerEdge Servers.
I installed Xen-3.0.2 on the first, made it running and put it in the
production state(!).
Everything was and is fine.

Then I bought another one and copied the .config file to the new one.
During generation of the DEBIAN operating system I got the mentioned
bug. This can be reproduced!

After disabling the SMP capability of the kernel on the new machine,
which just have a single processor, the kernel build was successful.

Regards

Reiner

Hi list,
I've been playing around with Xen for a few months now, and I'm very excited about this product. A few days ago I started a fresh install on an Compaq Proliant DL580. It's the first generation of this machine with 4x p3 700 Mhz (1mb cache btw)
The dom0 is using Debian 3.1 (sarge) and works perfectly.
Only after installing xen, and booting xen, I'm getting a _lot_ of the following messages after a while: Apr 17 19:31:38 pgcore02 kernel: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#3!

There aren't any domU's running yet. And after a while I've noticed that this error occurs on every cpu, except CPU 0 ? I also found this short conversation in the mailing list, but are curious if there is any news on this subject.
http://groups.google.nl/group/xen-devel-archive/browse_thread/thread/6391b9fc16f3b591/1b41dff3f57e9186?lnk=st
Keir also suggests to "turn off" the messages, but is this a solution or just a workaround ? I also tried running it on a different p3 xeon box (with 2 processors) and got the same errors. Then I tried running the same config on a normal p4 desktop pc, and I got no errors at all. I hope someone has any ideas or suggestions of what this problem might cause, or can tell me what I'm missing here. Thanks in advance, Hugo Rodenburg
