There is something wrong with this kernel. I have noticed, that after
1,5 hour some of the keys on my keyboard doesn't work... amarok
doesn't want to play music (30 sec gaps between songs etc.), switching
between firefox/openoffice takes 1 min. I don't see nothing special in
the logs. It is a CPU scheduler problem?

Regards,
Michal

Could be a timekeeping problem, perhaps. Is it SMP? Is the time-of-day
increasing at the right speed? Does `sleep 5' do the right thing?

Yes, it is.

Yes.

Yes, it does.

time sleep 5

real 0m5.016s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.014s

Problems starts after stress testing (LTP).
