Hi,
I found that setting the cpufreq governor to ondemand making the box lock up solid in 2.6.20.2 and 2.6.21 after a few seconds. Sysrq does not work anymore, and the last messages are: May 3 19:16:58 cn kernel: longhaul: VIA C3 'Nehemiah C' [C5P] CPU detected. Powersaver supported. May 3 19:16:58 cn kernel: longhaul: Using northbridge support. May 3 19:17:22 cn kernel: Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed. May 3 19:17:22 cn kernel: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -136422685 ns) I have also tried 2.6.20.2 in single-user mode (so that I can have the disk readonly), and it take a little longer (magnitude: minutes) to lock up; not sure if it's 20.2 or the single-user mode but I suspect the latter since nothing is running then that could potentially contribute to quickly changing workloads/frequencies. If you need more info, please let me know.
