Subjectclock freezes??
Hello,

I have a dual Xeon server (old Xeon HT) with an Intel E7505 chipset,
with hrtimer and dynticks enabled. On bootup, the kernel
(2.6.29-gentoo-r5) tells me it's using the PM-Timer bug workaround, but
then it uses tsc as clocksource. Now the clock was running slow for
about 15sec/12hrs, which is quite a lot. So in a careless moment, I just
tried "echo jiffies > clocksource0/current_clocksource". This froze the
system time. Now I couldn't switch back to tsc or acpi_pm, echoing those
was just ignored. Subsequently, the entire system locked up and I needed
to reboot.

Now what does that mean? Is this supposed to happen? Should I disable
dynticks and/or hrtimer?

thanks...
