It would also be interesting to hear how a ...-amd64 kernel behaves,

too.

The laptop has no AMD64 extensions in the cpu.

Ok, great. *After testing, please send a summary of the problem to

linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, cc-ing John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>

and Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>[1], plus either me or this bug

log so we can track it.



The summary should mention:



*- steps to reliably reproduce the problem

*- which versions reproduce the problem

*- full dmesg output from booting up and exhibiting the problem

*- that a 2.6.26-based kernel worked fine, but you don't have quick

* access to a system with such a kernel to look into it from that end

*- that clocksource=jiffies makes everything work again

*- what happens with clocksource=hpet and clocksource=tsc

*- any other weird observations

*- the page <http://bugs.debian.org/583363>, in case the reader wants

* to read the backstory



Ok, thanks.

Thanks again for your work, and hope that helps.

And for your work too.

Cheers,
