Comment 41 for bug 245779

Lily, you use kernel 2.6.24-19. That's not the newest one for Hardy, the newest one is currently 2.6.24-22. Using the latest kernels this bug hasn't occurred on my servers anymore for some time now. But when, on a updated server, I start a KVM with an older kernel and multiple processors configured, I usually experience this bug quite fast!

So it looks like when you use the latest kernel on your server AND on all virtual servers this bug won't occur anymore. I'm wondering if other people have also noticed this.

Warren V, do your multiple Dell platforms have AMD or Intel processors? I use Ubuntu Hardy only on Intel hardware now, but I'm wondering if this bug also applies to AMD platforms (I'm planning to buy a bunch of AMD servers soon and this is quite an important issue for me).
