Dear Mr. Hansen, I am not a member of the Debian Kernel Team, or any other team for that matter. I am just an ordinary end user. But I noticed the message
Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -244351700 ns) in the kernel log file and wondered if that might be part of your problem. You yourself have speculated that this might be a timing issue. That is a huge delta, especially since you're still booting. I'm curious to see if the following kernel boot parameters will solve your problem: clocksource=pit notsc For a more detailed discussion, see my web site, http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm, under the heading "Clock Sources". Even if it does not solve your problem, you should disable any clock source that is reported as unstable in a message of the form Clocksource xxx unstable if that is possible, with a kernel boot parameter. In this case, notsc does it. I am not subscribed to this bug report; so if you reply, please copy me separately. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
