Use the source, Luke.
You should be able to track down the error message under /usr/src/linux.
I find "stuck on" in the following source files:
./arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c
./arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c
./drivers/isdn/isdn_ppp.c
./drivers/usb/serial/digi_acceleport.c
./mm/memory.c
Google finds several results for "TLB IPI linux". Several people
reporting the problem, no resolutions that I note.
Any recent kernel upgrades.
