ATA_PERIODIC_POLL on ATA_I82801HBM_S1 causes lockups

2011-06-13 Thread Rick van der Zwet

2011-06-13 Thread Fabian Keil
I'm experiencing time-related issues that seem to be caused by the low-resolution TSC timecounter (r222866). The problem I noticed first is that it takes unusually long until a key press is repeated. With the default eventtimer (HPET) it seems to take about 4s, which can be slightly improved by sw
