Something on your system creates bogus NMI interrupts. What chipset
are you using exactly?

Sometimes chipsets can be programmed to raise NMIs when an PCI bus
error occurs.

21 is the normal state (PIT timer running, but no errors logged)

If you have an AMD 8131 it could be in theory erratum 54, but then
normally one of the error bits in reason should be set.

Yes, it's an AMD-8111 / 8131 / 8151 / K8-northbridge machine.


It's probably one of your IO cards. I would remove them one by one
or possibly switch them to different slots (PCI vs PCI-X)

Thanks, Andi.

I removed the Adapter SCSI PCI card and switched to using
the onboard Adaptec controller, and now I'm seeing no problems,
so the AIC7xyz (or 79yz) card or driver doesn't seem to like
PCI-X or something here.
