BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#X on FC5 x86_64

[Roberto Fichera]

Hi All,

I'm experiencing some soft lockup problem on fedora core 5 v2.6.19-1.2288.fc5 x86_64
with a dual HT Xeon 3.2GHz EMT in ASUS NCT-D mobo. This problem still happen
everytime I switch on the box, but disappear if I reboot the box with Ctrl-Alt-Canc and the
box stay up without any problem so far.

Does anyone have some tips to suggest?
