Is the machine really freezing there or is there also a backtrace on the screen (best with vga=normal instead of vga=xxx)?
It really freezes there, however, it is not "consistent" sometimes it freezes right during device-mapper setup or simply after the FIRMARE BUG: (PEGP) mentioned early on this thread.
If there is a backtrace, you could take a picture. Does sysrq still work (sysrq_always_enabled boot param and then hit SysRq - h).
I also tried that.. no luck.. maybe I didn't find the right combination of keys in the laptop keyboard.. will try again later
Maybe comparing this one with a acpi=noirq reveals something.
I will try to produce a diff..
Are there virtualization settings in BIOS that can be switched off?
Yes, they are, option "Virtualization" currently in state "Enabled" I tried disabled, same result.
Why are the hpet boot params?
Well, unless I am in a misunderstading using HPET clock source will allow the CPU to go into deeper C states while idle, thus battery life will improve..
nohz=off boot param has probably also tried already by someone.
I have not tried nohz.. will see :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
