I had an issue with lapic on my desktop with athlon64 3800+ x2 and kernel 2.6.21. Without the boot option "nolapic_timer", it would arbitrarily hang (sometimes giving an acpi error on the cpu, and many a times giving a 'netdev watchdog transmit timed out' on my network card on heavy network usage.) From 2.6.22 kernel, I didn't require the nolapic_timer boot option and its stable as rock. However, even with nolapic_timer boot option, wakeups per second never exceed 200. I have a feeling that you have kept your timer frequency high, say 1000Hz or 864Hz. I suggest taking the 100Hz option (CONFIG_HZ_100=y) in the kernel. Thanks, Hirakendu.

If I get it correctly, I have a broken lapic and that prevents NO_HZ stuff from working, thus I suffer from extra timer interrupts. Am I the only "happy" AMD Turion X2 64 owner, or somebody else has similar problems? I have ~650 wakeups per second and my battery works for 1-1.5 hours. -- Sincerely, Vladimir "Farcaller" Pouzanov http://hackndev.com _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
