Yes, could be some scheduler update that made the problem more visible. If you'd had time to use git-bisect to find the exact commit that exposes your problem, that might be interesting. But as you said that this is not immediately reproducible, it might take ages. > Would you like me to try and further isolate things for you here by > either running with just nohpet OR just the taskset to change X's > affinity? Yes, that would help. Especially knowing whether running with 'nohpet' fixes the problem would be nice. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
