Nice try: I am testing 11.0 here. And 11.0 does not use a vanilla kernel. For
obvious reasons. In order to file a bug with bugzilla.kernel.org I would have
to install the vanilla kernel first. With what config? And what if I could not
reproduce the bug at all or only a variation of it would show up? Would it mean
that 11.0 hasn't got the problem?
I did file the bug report here because of my personal interest to get 11.0 out
as the best possible product imaginable. And to give all you people a hint how
one can make 11.0 work with the SB600 chipset. Either you say: it's kernel
developers' job to fix it (then I do not understand why openSUSE does not use
vanilla kernels at all) or you believe there should be some sort off automatic,
semi-automatic or at least documented installation feature implementing the
"nohz=off" switch for quite a few Dell, HP and other notebooks and also
motherboards using this chipset which is easily detectable.
BTW These are some main board manufacturers using the SB600 chipset in some of
their products:
ASUS, Abit, DFI, ECS, MSI ... you name it.
All these mentioned products would not be "accessible" to 11.0 if we just pass
the bug to bugzilla.kernel.org. Is this what we want?
