Bug#583363: linux-image-2.6.32-3-686: Network hangs with network activity and date freezes

[Jose Luis Salas Carrascosa <josacar@gmail.com>]

I think that the bug is caused by changes in the clocksource between kernels and the powernow-k8 module.

One time I tested booting the xen flavour of the linux kernel ( the 2.6.32-5-xen-686 ) and the problem dissapeared, the net worked at full speed but there was no cpu scaling.

Now, I boot the kernel with the clocksource=jiffies option and the powersaved daemon to do the frequency scaling, the net works al full speed and the notebook is less hot, and me happier.

Thanks.

No, the problem persists. It has been "frozen" several hours until I
