again/still: Sun W1100z - problem with keyboard and mouse
Hello, unfortunately, I still have the same problem as described in this discussion: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2005-Jul/0040.html Every five seconds the machine seems to 'sleep' for a short moment and does not accept keyboard input and/or mouse movements. Someone suggested to switch ACPI off (boot option acpi=off), but this freezes the boot process. I tried: suse 9.1, suse 9.3 and suse 10.0 Thanks for any hint(s). Greetings Harald -- Dr.-Ing.

I also see this bug in SUSE 10. 115459 in bugzilla has details -- I thought the fix was going to be in RC3. If you remove the acpi thermal module then the hang goes away.. eric type this after reboot in a root window rmmod thermal Harald Finster wrote:

Hi, Does this affect *all* AMD64 machines running x86_64? Best wishes, Jon. Eric Whiting wrote:

No -- I have a Sun Ultra20 AMD (tyan motherboard). It doesn't have this problem. This problem seems to be specific to the Sun W1100z and W2100z. eric Jonathan Brooks wrote:

So one should expect the test of watching the clock on /proc/interrupts to be unaffected on non-Sun machines? The reason I ask, is that I do "see" missing seconds on the timer when I issue the command: watch -n1 'date ; cat /proc/interrupts' Best wishes, Jon. Eric Whiting wrote:

I've seen similar symptoms on a SIEMENS Scaleo (Athlon64) system. Not reproducible, but probably due to some transient SATA disk failure (or more probably chipset/controler issues). After an immediate reboot, I got lots of disk timeouts which vanished after a complete shutdown an coldstart. -- Volkmar Glauche - Department of Neurology volkmar.glauche@uniklinik-freiburg.de Universitaetsklinikum Freiburg Phone 49(0)761-270-5331 Breisacher Str. 64 Fax 49(0)761-270-5416 79106 Freiburg
