I am trying to set my SLES8 guest up to have hz_timer set to 0 at boot.  I
have found that this can be done using sysctl.conf or dynamically by
sysctl kernel.hz_timer=0.  However, it seems that the sysctl
kernel.hz_timer=0 command does not work.

See the following:

sysctl kernel.hz_timer
kernel.hz_timer = 1

Then I exeucte:

sysctl kernel.hz_timer=0
error: 'kernel.hz_timer=0' is an unknown key

I have also tried setting my /etc/sysctl.conf file up as follows:

#
# Created by Eric Sammons 02/05/2004
#

kernel.hz_timer = 0

After I reboot my setting remains = 1.  Any ideas what might be going on
here?

Thank you!
