I'm glad you are not seeing the issue anymore. Just to make sure that my changes to acpihpet(4) actually caused the problem, I have a few more questions: 1. When did you change the OS type? 2. What was the compilation date of the kernel where you first saw the problem? 3. If you boot an unpatched kernel does the problem manifest in exactly the same way? -Scott
