Lockup problems with new 8.4 update
I've got a box running KDE and Debian stable, has been running fine for
months, and today I did the update from 8.3 to 8.4. No problem; since it
installed a new kernel, I told it to reboot.
Ever since then I've been getting random lockups of the machine -- no
keyboard or mouse functionality. Programs running in the background at the
time of the lockup continue to run, and I can ssh into the box when it's
locked up.
At first I thought it might have been a program that was causing the
problems, but when ssh'ed into the box and after trying to kill a program, I
got this ominous error message:
Message from syslogd@shadow at Apr 3 16:59:56 ...
kernel:[ 917.582125] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [Xorg:1163]
Waiting 22 seconds just results in another similar error message. Running
"reboot" when ssh'ed into the box results in nothing happening -- a hard
reboot is required.
Is anyone else experiencing such issues? Got a clue as to what it might be?
TIA.
