* acpi_pm looses time, like several minutes per hour.
* tsc "appears" to work well, but might be suspicious According to an error message on my system, I think your clock and "lazy desktop" are the same core problem. From your other posts, it appeared 10.3 introduced processor frequency control to your system. From my system, it says something to the effect, marking tsc as unstable due to cpufreq changes. My CPU does have Cool and Quiet, so it sounds correct. Mine uses therefore acpi_pm. jmorris:/home/joe # cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource acpi_pm I would therefore suggest to pass cpufreq=no as a boot argument, and use tsc, to see if that allows your clock to work correctly, without a cpu frequency change perhaps causing a "lazy desktop" spell.
Could be...
* jiffies doesn't even work, time stops, applications depending on the clock stop - even "halt" stops when issuing a beep because the beep never times out. Ouch. Sorry. I based that on what a few others wrote in. I had no idea it would cause such problems on your system.
No, no, don't worry, I wanted to do that test before you mentioned it. I have had worse crashes than that one, I have another problem with encrypted filesystem causing a crash. I may report the problem with jiffies as a bug to bugzilla.
* pit I haven't tried. Should I?
After what jiffies did, I wouldn't. Is this your system with xfs? Just trying not to offer bad advice.
As a matter of fact, I do have some xfs partitions in my system, but not the root. Why? Do you think that clock problems can cause problems in xfs? That does interests me a lot, because the encrypted filesystem I mentioned above is xfs. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
