Hm, may be it's off-topic but I've seen such behavior on one of my |
39 |
servers - some ACPI events were hanging server with last kernels. The |
40 |
only thing I had to be done is to turn off ACPI in BIOS. Now service |
41 |
local isn't working and CPU frequency is not scaling also. Is this |
42 |
normal or can this parameter (CONFIG_HPET_TIMER) help me? |
