hey... my dad is offering me a modem/router for testing. before I go over there I need to ask if a modem/router can be used as only a router.

Do you mean the 'BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [Xorg: 1465]'? This seems to be the only computer this happens with.

I did a search for the BUG.... and happened upon this.

{
I googled around and by adding clocksource=jiffies to my kernel i fixed it. Instead of jiffies you could also try "pit".
There are also reports of disabling C-states in the BIOS.
}

If I follow these instructions do they mean adding it to the boot options or recompiling the kernel.

If you read the page it states, 'The cause was the hosts network driver (realtek)...'

Would this be related to the problem I'm having with the router? Maybe the router went belly-up.

Is it only this one computer with the problem, or is it all devices on the network? Also, does your computer have more than one network card? When you moved it, did you use the same port on the router and on the computer?

Okay... this scares me! I can login to the GUI, I backed up some new stuff. Thenwent to a tty.... no problem with that. I then logged out and went to the login screen and hit cntrl-alt-f1. everything blanked out. then I tried to go back to the GUI but it won't. I'm thinking the computer is screwed up.

Comments? Advice?

well this is interesting.... I reboot the machine and at the login screen went to tty1 to check if it got an ip address. Well, it wouldn't type. Then a message appeared saying:

  BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [Xorg: 1465]

and every now and then it would say that again. sometimes it would say:
 
     BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [Kworker/0:2.68]

actually I think the decimal is just a character that isn't showing up fully because at another line that appeared the decimalwas like a dot towards the top of the line and there were lots of characters that weren't all there.

sorry.... I had to go to work...... now back to the problem! unfortunately everyone is in bed but me. is there a way to get the router to give ip addresses without rebooting? the computer isn't the fastest to boot (it was a vista machine). WHile I was at work I was told to check that the cable didn't go bad so whe I got home tonight I tried another cable praying that was the problem. Unfortunately not!

Oh.... I think you guys misunderstood.... I was saying 'got it' to Gilbert (the message before my last one.
