2008-10-08 19:29:37 James Troup linux-meta: statusexplanation We've also run into this with VMWare ESX 3.5i and both the 8.04 and 8.04.1 (installer) kernels. Adding 'clocksource=acpi_pm' as mentioned in the forums thread, fixed it for us. See also: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1007020 Without the workaround we were seeing all sorts of bizarre and often fatal problems. Tim thinks the kernels in -proposed may also fix this but I wasn't able to test this yet.

James, have you had a chance yet to test whether this still applies to the current hardy-updates kernel (which should include everything that was in hardy-proposed in October)?
