NO_HZ is not present in either of the kernels Just checked another system running Beta1 packages (from DVD.iso) # egrep "NO_HZ|PREEMPT" /boot/config-2.6.22.1-16-default # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y # CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set # CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL is not set So CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y never presented a problem in the previous kernels. I have yet to see an Oops in the log files. I have tried flipping to F10 to see if I get a hint of an Oops during the boot but nothing. Most of the time its is while working in KDE, the system just locks up. I will try build and boot a 2.6.22.3-default kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y later tonight and see if the problem disappears. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
