Stefan Bader: I'll post the dmesg output of the system without the "jiffies" workaround and the output of /proc/interrupts shortly. I'll get both of those pieces of information collected as shortly after a boot as possible to limit the amount of extraneous data.
I've finally been able to do a clean install of Intrepid on this machine, and it still hangs during installation and it still needs clocksource=jiffies in order to operate normally once installed. Louis-Dominique Dubeau: I have not ever seen to "hpet increasing" messages, and when I try your dd test, the machine does indeed become unresponsive. In fact, it remains somewhat unresponsive even after the dd completes. Programs that were open during the test "die" even though they remain drawn on the screen. In a nutshell, the behavior you describe accurately describes what I am seeing, though I am missing the "hoet increasing" messages. Setting the clocksource to "jiffies" eliminates these problems. During the dd test, the system does become quite slow, but only as much as I would expect the system to given the high IO and processor load that puts the system under, and upon completion of the test, performance and other behaviors return to normal. -- Hardy 64-bit beta and nightly alternate installation stalls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217849 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
