Hello, Everyone I just ran "yum update" and rebooted. Some time not long after that reboot, I started getting message like this: Dec 22 20:11:26 afolkey2 kernel: [ 4130.161465] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s!

[httpd:1889] I rebooted into an older kernel and have not had any more of these messages popping up. Eventually, my system became unresponsive and I had to reboot. I am running Fedora 20 (fully updated) Installation method: fedup Any ideas? Steven P.
