Hello,

I'm facing a soft lockup kernel bug on a dom0 that result in freezing the server.
The soft lockup systematically appears between 10 to 20 hours after the server reboot.

I'm using xen 3.2.0 with kernel 2.6.24-18-xen on an ubuntu server 8.04.
The underlying server is an HP Proliant DL385 G2, with a dual-core AMD Opteron 2214 HE

Here is some example of the console logs I have when it happen :

Do you have already heard of such a problem ?

Thanks,

I saw this error in one of my Ubuntu 8.04 domUs the other day when the free memory in dom0 approached a very low value.  I rebooted the system and it seems to be fine.  But then again, I might see the problem again in a week's time.  I also use nrpe.

Chris
