There is not much interesting to see in the log. Can you please test the following: Add "clocksource=acpi_pm" to the kernel commandline. If this does not change anything, then disable CONFIG_HPET and retry. One thing in the log is indeed scary: [ 2.959150] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 20089.12 BogoMIPS (lpj=100445639) This is after the reboot, but it is not related to your problem. This is a different problem, which needs urgent attention. Adrian, can you open a seperate entry for this please ? It is not a new thing, this can be observed with older kernels as well, but it needs to be addressed. It probably needs a similar solution as I did for the local apic timer calibration. tglx
