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
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

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

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.

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.

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.
