Sometimes I observed spontaneous reboots during booting kernel, after
this message:
[...]
[ 0.024996] ... PM-Timer delta = 357949
[ 0.024996] ... PM-Timer result ok
[ 0.024996] ..... delta 1249983
[ 0.024996] ..... mult: 53694522
[ 0.024996] ..... calibration result: 199997

[ 0.024996] ..... host bus clock speed is 199.0997 MHz.
[ 0.024996] Booting processor 1 APIC 0x1 ip 0x6000

after this should be:
[ 0.000999] Initializing CPU#1
[ 0.000999] masked ExtINT on CPU#1
[ 0.000999] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine..

[ 0.000999] CPU: L1 I cache: 32K, L1 D cache: 32K
[ 0.000999] CPU: L2 cache: 1024K


Also I found this message in dmesg:
[ 0.000000] 4 Processors exceeds NR_CPUS limit of 2
[ 0.000000] SMP: Allowing 2 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs


I only have two processors:

I use latest bios. Unfortunately it happens only sometimes, so I
cannot try bisect.
