Hello,
I recently installed FC 2 on the above machine, which has a 3G Pentium 4 w/ hyperthreading. This machine seems to hang hard after a day or so of running. It's usually just running the screen saver when it hangs. When it hangs, it won't talk to the keyboard or the network - I have to use the power button on the case to restart it.
The kernel seems to treat this machine as if it has two CPUs. Is that the expected / correct thing for it to do? I'm running the SMP kernel. I've seen the same problem w/ 2.6.5-1.358smp and 2.6.8-1.521smp.
I installed as a workstation, and I've also installed all available uptates as of Monday, Sept. 13th.
Here's what's in /var/log/message from the last hang:

Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: Losing too many ticks!
Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: TSC cannot be used as a timesource.
Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: Possible reasons for this are:
Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: You're running with Speedstep,
Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
Sep 14 05:23:58 Doramichan kernel: Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
(I included 8 hours worth of time resets before the errors, because I though they might be related - it looks fishy to me that some of them are only about 15 minutes apart...)
Anybody have any idea what's going on here, or what I could do to track it down? This is complicated by the fact that three days a week I'm not in the same location as the machine...
Thanks, Eric Mader
