hi,

  i stumbled upon this project while i was searching for a tool that 
could tell me if my custom compiled kernel is not broken compared to the 
one used in distro (as i nedded a patch applied). After trying the ltp 
script i tried to run it on several kernels and both crashed even the 
debian ones:

- debian 3.16 (ionotify06)

then crash with BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for xxs

so, i just wanted to ask if this is supposed to happen even on the 
debian one or if this is because i run the tool in brainless mode ( 
./runltp  -d /var/tmp/     -b /dev/mapper/vserverpool-testcq ) without 
really understanding the real way to use it.
Perhaps it is not usefull to test the way i try it like this so excuse 
my errors if this is the case :)

best regards,
Ghislain.
