VERY strange lag on a Dell Optiplex 760

I thought it would be a good idea to keep a 16GB flash drive on my keychain that booted Arch so I could work on HW for college in a consistent OS!  Everything is working great so far, but I ran into a very strange problem with a Dell Optiplex 760.  During the normal Arch init process, everything loads great, except for when it gets to the udev stage where everything hangs.  But here's the strange part of this scenario: the problems go away when I start typing random keys or move the mouse!  If I don't do this, the system hangs completely from what I can tell.  This happens at the console and with X. 

The service tag for this machine is FDCQQJ1, and the dell.com driver area brings up this list of hardware and (windows) drivers for it.

Here's the #lspci -vv of the system:

Re: VERY strange lag on a Dell Optiplex 760

Found something interesting ...

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2009-April/021625.html wrote:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13053

           Summary: No HPET interrupts unless acpi_skip_timer_override is
                    set.
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.28
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Config-Interrupts
        AssignedTo: acpi_config-interrupts at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: wdc at mit.edu
        Regression: No


I'm in the process of qualifying Dell Optiplex 760 systems for Linux use at
MIT.
The target distribution will be Ubuntu 9.04.

When I boot the current snapshot of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) it seems like the
boot-up hangs.  In reality, it seems that the HPET interrupts are not waking
the CPU from the C3 state.

If I boot with the default options and hit the power switch until the keyboard
gets initialized, and then press a key until the mouse support comes online,
and then if I move the mouse around I can generate interrupts that causes the
system to see the HPET interrupts and to function pretty much normally.

* If I boot with HPET=disable all seems well.
* If I go into the BIOS and disable C States (which disables the ability of
the CPU to enter the C3 energy saving state), all seems well.
* If I boot with the default HPET enabled and "acpi_skip_timer_override", all
seems well.

QUESTION:

What else should I be trying to further identify the root cause of this issue?

Are there finer grained or other interesting kernel options I should try?

I only got the clue about trying "acpi_skip_timer_override" by reviewing other
interrupt-related kernel bugs.  The description of that parameter in the
kernel-parameters doc, "Recognize and ignore IRQ8/pin2 Interrupt Override. For
broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer." didn't make sense to me, but
surprisingly it did enable HPET operation and got the CPU out of C3.

I ran powertop and watched it behave a bit strangely when I was hand-creating
interrupts.

I was getting some very bizarre behavior under earlier kernels (because I was
first testing under Ubuntu 8.10.)  But taking a very new beta of Ubuntu 9.04
the symptom got much simpler to describe.  (Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel
2.6.28-11.37 seems to have incorporated pretty much every upstream HPET-related
patch from 2.6.29 that I could find in the kernel.org git repository.)

In the Ubuntu community, I am working this bug in Launchpad 348694:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348694

The folks there suggested I raise the issue in a bugzilla in kernel.org by way
of getting clues from others more familiar with ACPI, HPET, and CPU State C3
lore.

I am grateful for any further insights.

Re: VERY strange lag on a Dell Optiplex 760

I should be doing my research before posting threads ... looks like this is a problem with the old Dell BIOS:

Good news!  Dell has released an updated BIOS that remedies the problem!
Rev A03 for the Dell Optiplex 760 can be found at:

http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/O760-A03.EXE

I have updated my test system to this revision, and confirmed that HPET
interrupts now correctly reach the Linux kernel with C states enabled.

This bug can now be CLOSED.

Re: VERY strange lag on a Dell Optiplex 760

The bug report was kind of old, so the firmware posted is a bit dated.  This is the very latest revision I found on ftp.us.dell.com/bios: http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/O760-A06.EXE

Trying to make the most of our BBS's search feature in case someone searches this.  Will mark this thread solved if the update fixes the issue.
