To use "notsc" I had to set CONFIG_X86_TSC_DISABLE=y , but then init fails (booting stops after freeing some kernel memory). Configure.help says one has to install a TSC-checking glibc if that happens; I installed the latest glibc-2.2.4-31 from redhat/7.2/updates but still init fails. Are there RH7.2 compatible versions of glibc which are TSC-checking?
I also tried echo 01 >/proc/irq/0/smp_affinity and it seems to improve the situation but I'm not sure if this is a good workaround.
