This an old IBM T40p notebook with Pentium-M (Banias) UP processor. IIRC I have flashed the latest BIOS available for this notebook. [ 11.786073] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 1RETDRWW (3.23 ), EC 1RHT71WW-3.04 [ 11.786111] thinkpad_acpi: IBM ThinkPad T40p, model 2374SG6 As I am still sitting in the dark, it would be very helpful to know if I can play with HZ or RCU kernel-config parameters. Can I change RCU behaviour from user-space? - Sedat - P.S.: Note to myself: Read Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt & check possible values in lib/Kconfig.debug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
