Greetings, I've had no time to tinker with this but though I should get it posted, so build latest/greatest to make sure it's still there. It is. Box can be idling along, and pow. If RCU_BOOST is enabled, I get a hung task panic after the stall. If RCU_BOOST is off, and debugging options are cut to the bone, box will stay up despite periodic gripes.Yow! Is this new in -rt8? I wasn't seeing it in earlier versions. Then again, I was running 32 bits.
No, I saw it in earlier releases too. The only thing I've done since first seeing it is a quick build to see if it was still alive, or had died of boredom while waiting for me to come out and play ;-) -Mike
