[ltp] Re: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

Dear DS,

hmm, I don't know, the only things I usually have connected to my 
machine are a USB-mouse and the network cable, no storage devices. So 
there might be different events/reasons that trigger the hang-ups.

There doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary in the logs...

Best regards,

Pio

P.S. At the moment I am using 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64
