Comment 49 for bug 217849

Ok, So I am running the daily mainline from today, June 11, and the problem still exists. After rebooting I had to recompile my Nvidia drivers. During the compilation the progress stopped at 30% for about 3 minutes. Once that time passed and I was quite sure it wasn't just thinking _real hard_, I hit the right-arrow cursor and the compilation continued, completing in only a few seconds.

I've added the kernel flags you suggest above ("acpi_skip_timer_override debug lapic=debug") and rebooted, and so far, I haven't noticed any hiccups. was that expected? I'm not sure what you are after with "post the result here". I'm going to setup a few long-running processes and see if they hang up. Are you after some debugging output?
