ok now tested on my core 2 duo laptop (also using x86_64).
what does this mean? I don't see it with 2.6.18 and I have not seen any problems because of it (yet)
you need to disable nmi_watchdog (by putting nmi_watchdog=0) the code is just broken in recent kernels :( (there's people in my team at Intel working on fixing this)
Dave: please disable nmi_watchdog by default in FC x86-64 kernels.. at least until the worst bugs are fixed (but even then it makes little sense to have it enabled anyway)
x86-64 has had it default on for ages though, it's only recently that i386 changed to match. It's odd that it's only now causing problems.
