I have seen this type of behavior once before on one of our Sparc boxes. It would randomly stop processing, then wake up. You could watch the clock stop ticking and then start again. Some applications (that weren't looking for a clock tick) would be okay, but others (like Kerberos, for some reason) would stop responding. In that case it ended up being the onboard RTC. We had Sun swap out the system board and the box has been stable ever since.
But I refuse to believe it can be a hardware problem, because 10.2 had no problems, and the problems started as soon as I upgraded to 10.3
Maybe it is not indicating a hardware failure, but the source of the problem. It sounds like it is related to your clock problem. Perhaps tsc is often marked as unreliable for a reason. Maybe try jiffies, since the acpi_pm seemed to cause your clock even more problems. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
