2.6.18 BUG: warning at kernel/cpu.c:51/unlock_cpu_hotplug()

[Kasper Sandberg]

Hello.

I just noticed, on a debian etch(stable) system, using kernel 2.6.18
some messages.

I have not experienced any real problems from it, and well.. i just
wanted to post in case someone can get some stuff out of it..

it has happened a few times.

Every night an usb disk is mounted for backup purposes, and you can with
that, estimate how often it happens.

Dont know if this happens on newer kernels.

Also, should i be worried about this? or just not care?

anyway, without further delay, the log:
