It still hangs solid after the second spinlock lockup call trace. Here's the relevant sections of the kernel logs: ...

No problems with slub on CONFIG_SMP=n & CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n 2. Problem with slub on CONFIG_SMP=n & CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y (perhaps a. some locking issue when slub is activated or b. something is wrong with 'prove locking' mechanism when slub is activated or c. something else I don't see) 3. Problem with slub on CONFIG_SMP=y (even without CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y) Thanks ___________________________________________________________________________________ How would you spend $50,000 to create a more sustainable environment in Australia?
