Hi All,
We have developed our own custom board based on MPC8541 board running
linux 2.6.11
During stress testing the system we get following kernel panic which
related to timer cascase.
Any hints greatly apprieciated. Many thanks in advance:
kernel BUG in cascade at kernel/timer.c:416!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

414
415 tmp = list_entry(curr, struct timer_list,
entry);
