Re: Re: Freeze with 2.6.32.19 and xen-4.0.1rc5, acpi problems

Can you try building and installing the hypervisor (xen.gz) from the tip of
http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-4.0-testing.hg ?

There is a fix in there to work around an erratum in Intel deep-sleep (C6
state) handling. Caused interrupt acknowledgements to be lost, interrupts
thus get blocked, system hangs/pauses, ...
