I've been adding my experiences to bug #217815 over there, Colin King suggested that one try different clock sources
On my machine I have hpet, acpi_pm, jiffies, and tsc as available clock sources. hpet seems to be the default. Here are my results using the daily from the 21st (I think...) hpet: stalls acpi_pm: stalls (perhaps worse than hpet) jiffies: Works! If this does not genuinely eliminate the stalls, it at least makes them so short they are easily confused with normal processing. tsc: stalls really badly, worse than hpet or acpi_pm I'm going to test jiffies a couple more times, but the one run though worked great! The only times that normal disc activity was interrupted were very brief (a few seconds each) pauses while packages were being configured. Otherwise CD-ROM or HDD was busy the entire time I would expect it to be. -- Hardy 64-bit beta and nightly alternate installation stalls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
