I see messages in dmesg stating that "CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec" and it increases more over time. Infact I believe that it is triggered by ndiswrapper, as the messages do not seem to come up when using ath5k wireless driver. Unfortunately ath5k does not work well anymore for the atheros ar5000eg series. I am running kubuntu 10.04 on an acer aspire one netbook (not the UNR version). Kubuntu runs really quite well on this little netbook, though a little slow at times, it is a very nice computing experience. I am only experiencing a problem particularly when downloading a torrent file of large size, or when streaming media over the internet. If I give it enough time, my system will completely freeze up, and the R-E-I-S-U-B key combo doesnt work either. So I have to hard shutdowm. Any suggestions?

Re: How to disable "hpet"
try adding these to your kernel options in grub:
hpet=disable
clocksource=hpet
clocksource=jiffies
nolapic acpi=off
nohz=off
noapic
Try them one at a time and see if your lockups go away. -
Re: How to disable "hpet"
I have tried hpet=disable and that did not work for me, but when I get back on the computer, I will try the other options.Acer Aspire One AOA150 Model, Sapphire Blue<br />System BIOS 3310<br />Intel Atom CPU 1.6 GHz<br />DDR2 RAM 1.5 GHz<br />Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTSComment
