Hi,

we run kernel 2.6.37.6 from opensuse 11.4. All machines with uptimes more 
than 208 days show strange behaviour. The scheduler seems to avoid some 
cores. For example on a 12 core machine only 3 cores are used. I see the 
following messages in the logfiles

The representation of the kernel time stamp is near to 2^64. Is there an 
integer overflow involved?

Could you please tell me which kernel version fixed this bug?

Thanks
Christoph

Ah, 208 day bugfixes went to stable, but not to 2.6.37.  Dunno if that
kernel is still being maintained, but please file a bug with opensuse.
