Thanks for the suggestions, |
| 43 |
It turned out that the problem was that the processor was entering a low |
| 44 |
power state after a period of time and needed to be woken up again -- |
| 45 |
adding no-hld to the kernel line in grub.conf solved the problem |
| 46 |
completely |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Thanks again |
