--- Comment #19 from Len Brown <l...@kernel.org> 2011-03-23 04:44:16 --- yes, for core2 duo, intel_idle should not probe, and acpi_idle should probe. "dmesg | grep idle" on a successful boot should show this. Ditto for i7300_idle -- which should only probe for a system with an i7300 (Xeon server) chip-set. Best to stick with CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, as the CONFIG_NO_HZ=n case is probably subject to bit-rot, and thus there have been proposals to delete it entirely. I can't explain why nolapic would help when nolapic_timer does not help, unless the fact that you have nolapic disables SMP -- but you report that maxcpus=1 does not help, so that is a mystery. we are touching on timer/idle issues, so please try with "idle=poll" and see if that helps. would be helpful if you can attach the complete working/failing configs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
