Hi all. Can somebody have a brief look at those crash traces and tell me what to try about it? It looks mildly c state and/or smp related. This is on a Lenovo T400 notebook, Intel P8400, 2 cores running a Ubuntu-Lucid 2.6.32 kernel. System does fine for a couple hours, then goes south all of a sudden. I'd blame it a broken board or memory if it were more random. No other hiccups. Affected core is apparently always CPU#1, apparently always idle, dying on either a #DF, or a fault in some acpi_idle_enter_. I set CPU#1 to offline this morning and since then the symptom seems gone. But I'd like to get it back online. Thanks very much. Hope I'm asking on the right list.
