Data Softlockup detected on cpu#0

hi everybody,
I am working on Linuxdevicedrivers in kernel 2.6.My driver is for a HDLC transceiver chip.
The problem is driver is not getting initialized properly.It is throwing one bug saying
BUG:softlockup detected on cpu#0
which we see in /var/log/messages
This is the first i am getting this error. How to sort out this.
Is it because of huge amount of memory allocated for the driver or something else.
It would be a great help if somebody helps in sorting out this.
Thanks in advance
sriram

NAME
ie -- Ethernet device driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file: device ie Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ie_load="YES" In /boot/device.hints: hint.ie.0.at="isa" hint.ie.0.port="0x300" hint.ie.0.irq="5" hint.ie.0.maddr="0xd0000" HARDWARE
The ie driver provides supports the following 8 and 16bit ISA Ethernet cards that are based on the Intel i82586 chip: o 3COM 3C507 o AT&T EN100 o AT&T Starlan 10 o AT&T Starlan Fiber o Intel EtherExpress 16 o RACAL Interlan NI5210 DIAGNOSTICS
ie%d: unknown board type code %d An i82586 chip was found, but the driver was unable to determine the actual board type during the probe. ie%d: kernel configured maddr %x doesn't match board configured maddr %x The device probe detected a different maddr than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. ie%d: can't find shared memory The device probe could not access the shared memory to determine its size. ie%d: kernel configured msize %d doesn't match board configured msize %d The device probe found a different size for the shared memory than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. ie%d: kernel configured irq %d doesn't match board configured irq %d The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file. ie%d: reset The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver. ie%d: transceiver problem The driver has detected a problem with the Ethernet transceiver. This is usually due to a loose or broken trans- ceiver cable when using an external transceiver. When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver your card may be incorrectly jumpered for to use an external transceiver. Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken. ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away The driver detected an open circuit in the Ethernet cable. Check your coax cable and terminator resistors. ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away The driver detected a short circuit in the Ethernet cable. Check your coax cable and terminator resistors. ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x The driver got an unknown status from the card during the Ethernet cable test. ie%d: multicast address setup command failed The card could not be put into multicast mode. ie%d: configure command failed The card refused to respond correctly during configuration. ie%d: individual address setup command failed The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed. CAVEATS
The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of shared memory. It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant. You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional RAM chip. SEE ALSO
