May 20 03:57:23 box1 [   13.917884] Code:
May 20 03:57:23 box1 89

My boot parameters are as follows:

append="netconsole=4444@xxxxxxxxxxxx/eth0,514@xxxxxxxxxxxx/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx nmi_watchdog=1"

The full dmesg (from netconsole) is attached.

Should I not be using nmi_watchdog, is there a bug/problem with that code?

Originally I wanted to use it so if the kernel ever crashed, it would reboot
the host automatically, but that did not happen either.

After power cycling, the host came up OK the second time?

Any idea what happened here?

Justin.
