F20: message from syslogd and soft lockup/kernel bug

[Ranjan Maitra]

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 at ....
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
