+<h2>Scheduler State</h2>
+</div>
+<div>
+<p>The first three lines and the fifth line of the output show the
+state of the kernel scheduler. This information is mainly of interest to kernel
+engineers, although the state of the kernel and the system locks can be useful
+when debugging device driver crashes.</p>
+<p class="listing">SCHEDULER @64000348: CurrentThread 640396b0<br>
+ RescheduleNeeded=00 DfcPending=00 KernCSLocked=00000001<br>DFCS: next 64000458 prev 64000458<br>...<br>SYSLOCK: HoldingThread 00000000 iWaiting 00000000</p>
+<p>The values are interpreted as follows:</p><table cellpadding="1" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td
