https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284705 Summary: Kernel freezes after around 10 minutes on Tyan S2466N motherboard Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: R.Vickers@cs.rhul.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de This computer has worked flawlessly since 2002 on a succession of SuSE releases, but when I tried to install OpenSuSE 10.2 it would not stay up for more than about 10 to 20 minutes. It would freeze completely and the keyboard locked up. This happened even when installing in Safe mode. One successful workround was to select maxcpus=0 as a boot option. A better one appears to be to select clocksource=tsc I believe this is the same problem as reported by a Debian user at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412194 Note that without kernel options the message Time: pit clocksource has been installed. appeared in the log. Kernel version is 2.6.18.8-0.3-bigsmp The processors are AMD Athlon and the motherboard is Tyan S2466N. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
