Sql Server 2005, I get an error:
Unable to get thread context - no pss
BEGIN STACK DUMP:
Date Time spid 0
Non-yielding Scheduler
I did some research and found that it is a reported bug:

Does anyone has a workaround or solution for this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,

This looks like a SP1 issue and first port of call would be to install SP2 to see if problem still persist. This bascially means the CPU schedulers are not yielding to allow other threads to get CPU cycles.

Thanks,

I agree with Phillip and if you call MS, they'll almost certainly require SP2.

Is this an SP1 box or has this happened on SP2?

It has happened on a SP2 box. I have raised another bug with MS mentioning that it is also happening on SP2.

Meanwhile, if somebody could provide a workaround, that would be great! We have to restart our production server when this issue happens because the system just hangs.

Thanks!

we recently had some similar "Non-yielding Scheduler" errors on our servers.

I don't know your server's config but in our case these errors began when we configured some of our servers with the (processor) "Affinity Mask" server option to dedicate specific cpu to specific sql instances.

so we reversed back this option to resolve the pb and it's ok since.

some info on the schedulers :

hope this will help you.

What build are you running? Cumulative update package 4 (build 09.00.3200) for SP2 is now available. Cumulative update package 3 (09.00.3186) for SP2 has been out for while now.

Majbou, we did not make any changes to affinity mask. But thanks for the article link, it helped clear a lot of things.

Tommy, we do not have the latest build but I checked, this issue has not been fixed in the latest packages.
