Description:
Some newer Intel silicon is configured such that the legacy(8254) timer function is disabled. "8254 clock gating" is provided to disable 8254 timer to get rid of legacy and save power. The platforms with the firmware and silicon combination which disables the 8254 timer will fail to boot up and block on grub2 which uses the 8254 timer to calibrate the TSC. The impact will be the system hanging at the bootloader. Steps to reproduce: 1) Boot affected system The patch which fixed this issue has included in the upstream git repository by Intel: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=446794de8da4329ea532cbee4ca877bcafd0e534 Please consider to bring this patch into Arch. |
