I have this problem on an LG-E300 laptop with Hardy. noapic fixes is but that can lead to other problems (random freezing after boot). I also got it on Fluxbuntu based on Gutsy.
Since this is related to IO timers, could it explain any of these other symptoms I'm getting? -USB devices crapping out (large & small drives, MTP) just becoming unresponsive after some use, particularly while other USB traffic going on -weird system freezes that only unfreeze when there is input from mouse/keyboard. i.e. having to constantly move the mouse to cause background processing to happen, as if all processes are hanging until there's IO interrupts -slow ATA performance (think this is logged as a separate bug) -acpi glitches (can't soft restart, plugging in power half way through startup causes serious slow down). Trying noapic or acpi=off eliminate some of the above but result in instable system. -------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r 2.6.24-19-generic -------- Dmesg.txt attached ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18021320/dmesg.txt -- "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" on Notebook Notebook LG LE50 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
