I don’t really have the time right now to go after hunches, such as the new tikless system, as building a kernel takes up to 45 minutes on that thing. well, take your 3.9 config and don't change it. If the config change doesn't reveal anything, you can do git bisect of the kernel to find out which patch broke it. When you do git bisect you don't need to recompile the whole kernel every time, it only compiles the changed files, which are usually not many. So even on a slower machine it's not so bad once the first compile is finished. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect I didn't know one could have the git repo only for one subversion (though I find it very handy for this huge codebase). Anyhoo, I cleaned out my build dir and oldconfig'ed my 3.9 config, this time saying no to everything new. As it turned out, the resulting config was almost identical to my old 3.10 config (except for some crypto stuff built as a module instead of built-in). Now I don't have the freezes anymore. One possible reason is that I'm now using 3.10.4 instead of 3.10.1. Another (more probable) reason is that I may have forgotten to make clean the first time, which left over some interfering cruft. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.

I have the same but on a desktop - wont work on anything later than 3.8.13 and I cant find any meaningful messages - yet other machines are working fine :( BillK
