Comment 5 for bug 261937

Steve,

The soft lockup error discussed in #316187 is, apparently, not really a bug (more like a spurious warning).

Personally, I have not been able to reproduce a solid freeze (oops, panic, or whatever) so I do not have a solid test case for this specific bug. Maybe the bug reporter (Mike Basinger) can narrow down what trigger the freeze for him, or at least explain the circumstance? If he do, I would be more than willing to chase it down and do more testing.

Eventually, I will be testing the problem discussed by James above (server installer freezing), but this will take a bit of time.
