What is "processor.max_cstate"? a boot parameter:

I expect that the timer is switched off in deeper sleep states (C3). Strange is that latest kernel sometimes works... Can you also try the processor.max_cstate=X parameter, pls. Then you save a lot more power. The question then is whether Sempron Mobile 3500/3600 should be blacklisted to not use C3 or whether the apictimer should not be used in this case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
