John Stultz replied privately asking for more information and the output of dmesg, suggested I try the -mm kernel to see if it also had the problem, suggested the "clocksource=pit" workaround, and then sent me a patch to try for the -mm kernel. When I reported that the patch worked for -mm, he said he would "polish it up and send it to Andrew." I asked if -mm could also be used with the -rt patch, since realtime was important to me, but I didn't get a reply. Chuck
