I can't really assert that; it doesn't _seem_ to be bothered the same way, but I've only run it for an hour or so to compile the other kernels. Just to be 100% sure it's not overheating or such, I've turned off all fan control in the BIOS. But then again, overheating sounds really far off; the machine is in a cooled server room (20 degrees Celsius), and has lots of fans making sure the air flow is good. > Which patch? remove-softlockup-from-invalidate_mapping_pages.patch?

Hm, yes, for some reason CONFIG_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_x86_64_ACPI_NUMA are all set; I guess they're left from the stock config I use at a base. (For those tuning in; this is a dual-core amd64. That might be relevant somehow.) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
