Sep 8 12:31:18 beta watchdog[243]: loadavg 159 63 24 is higher than the given t hreshold 150 140 130! Sep 8 12:31:28 beta watchdog[243]: shutting down the system because of error -3 I had set the loadavg to such an absurd number, I never thought it could be that. It NEVER peaks that high on a single CPU (well... without HT SMP on). Is this normal? Do SMP systems tend to spike a lot higher than regular single CPU ones? Strange thing is... the previous 2Ghz CPU... never went that high... and now with a 2.8Ghz HyperThreading processing, the load average actually increases (or at least the spiking load average). Is this a trait of SMP? Never worked with SMP like this before... with such strange charateristic? Normal? Thanks in advance.
