Hi, This is a strange NMI lockup - I have no idea what triggered it and so cannot possibly reproduce it. Requests to try (try "what"?) with 2.6.24.x would be similarly unhelpful.
But anyway, here it is. A perfectly normal boot of 2.6.23.16 on a dual P4 Xeon (HT enabled, to give 4 logical CPUs) with 2 GB RAM, until it all goes horribly wrong: ... scsi1 : ata_piix ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma 0x0001ffa0 irq 14 ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x00010170 ctl 0x00010376 bmdma 0x0001ffa8 irq 15 ata1.00: ATA-6: IC35L090AVV207-0, V23OA66A, max UDMA/100 ata1.00: 156250000 sectors, multi 8: LBA48 usb 1-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 ata2.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B, 0015, max UDMA/33 ata2.01: ATAPI: SONY CD-RW CRX216E, PD01, max UDMA/33 usb 4-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 4-3:1.0: USB hub found hub 4-3:1.0: 4 ports detected ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata2.01: configured for UDMA/33 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA IC35L090AVV207-0 V23O PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156250000 512-byte hardware sectors (80000 MB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156250000 512-byte hardware sectors (80000 MB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 > sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B 0015 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 scsi 1:0:1:0: CD-ROM SONY CD-RW CRX216E PD01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 4-3.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 usb 4-3.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.0-ioctl (2006-10-12) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 kjournald starting.
