Hi,
I have been having this issue sometimes (not always but quite
frequently) upon wakeup from hibernate for the past few days (on a
newly installed notebook) which is a Dell Precision M3800.
I get the following message on my consoles:
Message from syslogd@....
kernel:BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s!
What is the problem? Is the problem with the laptop or the kernel?
I am using kernel-3.16.2-201.fc20.x86_64 on Fedora 20.
The laptop has 12GB memory and 16GB swap.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

I don't ever recall seeing it installed by default. I've always had to
manually install it, on any system that I wanted it. The only place
I've seen it already there, is on a live DVD (when you boot the disc,
itself).

memtest is a util that was, in the past, included on the boot screen.
I think its been dropped but can be yum installed. check for it with
yum search memtest
it will test your memory out for any faulty locations by move data
patters in and out of all mem locations...
another possibility, but a painful one, is your thermal grease has
burned off the cpu. if it does overheating can occur. cracking open
laptops is no fun, but doable, maybe look for a youtube on doing it
for your machine.

Hi Gary,
Thanks! I also have updated my BIOS (as mentioned in a subsequent post) but I have
continued to have frequent error messages and lockups even with the mainline vanilla
kernel. I have filed bug reports on both kernel.org and fedora -- hopefully it will be
fixed soon.
Btw, what does running memtest for 24 hours mean? What do I have to do?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

continued to have frequent error messages and lockups even with the mainline vanilla
kernel. I have filed bug reports on both kernel.org and fedora -- hopefully it will be
fixed soon.

I've had similar error messages and hang of the system (unresponsive,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that pretty much **nothing** works at this
stage. Even if I bring up an editor (vi), the actual editor does not
come up. Only a hard reboot allows me to proceed.
Please let me know if more information is needed.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
