Hello all,
on my system I'm having the usual (already known from Con Kolivas
earlier dynticks patches) problems with missed ticks: I have to generate
keyboard or mouse interrupts to let my system proceed with booting
(semi-)properly.
Once in X11 it's better (due to many IRQs being triggered here, I assume),
but still not perfect.
This did "work properly" (for whatever reason) with 2.6.19-rc1-mm* and got
broken once going to -rc2-mm*, IIRC. -rc4-mm1 is stock version without
any local patches (for accurate bug reporting).
x86 UP Athlon 1200, VIA chipset.
Probably some problem with VIA chipsets and APIC, PIT, ...?
Would be nice to get this to work properly, anything I should try to debug?
