This is so stupid that it's not even funny. You said that the problem
was having CONFIG_HZ=300 and systemd. I said it is not, because I also
have that situation and it works. So, your point is moot. I didn't say
you don't have a problem, but just that it may be not related to
CONFIG_HZ. I even sent you an article with ways on how to inspect the
behaviour of systemd, which was completely ignored.

Really, arch-general is not the same as before, and _that_ is the real problem.
