Issues with dynamic ticks

Hi, I've been struggling for some time to get a kernel with dynamic ticks to be stable on my current hardware configuration. Right now, I'm using a Toshiba M40 with a Intel centrino cpu. Basically, what happens is that the system will start slowing down and then completely freeze up after about 5 seconds after the initial slowdown.

I know this to be an issue with dynamic ticks as disabling it in my kernel build fixed the problem. Disabling HPET timers in the kernel and adding clocksource=acpi_pm as a kernel boot parameter doesn't seem to fix the issue with dynamic ticks.

So, I'm wondering if others are having this problem (an issue in both 2.6.21 and 2.6.22); and if anyone knows any possible solutions outside of disabling dynamic ticks.


... and for a time, it was good...

Re: Issues with dynamic ticks

It could be the problem described here : FS#7124 - Kernel 2.6.21 boot problem


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
