------- Comment #53 from mprosi...@volny.cz  2009-03-05 14:31 -------
Hi ykzhao,
since my last report I tried (for another cca 40 hours in sum) the kernel with
nolapic_timer (Comment #51) and it have not freezed once.
So I can now choose between using low frequency or C-states to save processor
power. I prefer the C-states (processor on max, frequency without single freeze
in more than month) but it would be nice to have both at once.
