Grub command lines are identical except that "lapic hpet=force" in normal boot is substituted by "single" in recovery mode.
I've found that if i remove "lapic" from the command line, then the NMI error appears. And in fact that paramter it's not present in recovery mode. In my laptop, lapic has to be used (as told in kernel logs) because it is disabled by BIOS.
Googling around i've learned that NMI watchdog needs a local APIC and that explain the error message. Even if the exact meaning of that message is obscure to me yet.
Feel free to mark this bug as a duplicate of #599368 and close it.Then add +1 to what Michael Biebl already asked: why that message should be showed?
