According to an error message on my system, I think your clock and "lazy
desktop" are the same core problem. From your other posts, it appeared
10.3 introduced processor frequency control to your system. From my
system, it says something to the effect, marking tsc as unstable due to
cpufreq changes. My CPU does have Cool and Quiet, so it sounds
correct. Mine uses therefore acpi_pm.
jmorris:/home/joe # cat
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
acpi_pm
I would therefore suggest to pass cpufreq=no as a boot argument, and use
tsc, to see if that allows your clock to work correctly, without a cpu
frequency change perhaps causing a "lazy desktop" spell.
Could be...
* jiffies doesn't even work, time stops, applications depending on the
clock stop - even "halt" stops when issuing a beep because the beep
never times out.
Ouch. Sorry. I based that on what a few others wrote in. I had no
idea it would cause such problems on your system.
No, no, don't worry, I wanted to do that test before you mentioned it. I
have had worse crashes than that one, I have another problem with
encrypted filesystem causing a crash.
I may report the problem with jiffies as a bug to bugzilla.
* pit I haven't tried. Should I?
After what jiffies did, I wouldn't. Is this your system with xfs? Just
trying not to offer bad advice.
As a matter of fact, I do have some xfs partitions in my system, but not
the root. Why? Do you think that clock problems can cause problems in xfs?
That does interests me a lot, because the encrypted filesystem I mentioned
above is xfs.
