Just now I was playing with a new (for me) OS and I got a message the CPU was disabled by the OS which sounds nuts, isn't the CPU like basically the computer I thought. BTW, I'm not a programmer or developer or even trained —formally at least— in IT.
I searched around for this and got a couple of results asking for why this happened and a VMware article or two for causes, I'm not looking for that though; I'd just like to know what would be the equivalent in a real machine.
From what I gather it'd like a kernel panic in turn triggering a non-maskable interrupt, is that correct? It'd make so much more sense than the OS taking the CPU out of the way.
Thanks!
