The timer is triggered once and then never again. Single shot timers work fine. 2.6.9-rc1 is fine. The first kernel that I tested where I noticed the breakage was 2.6.9-rc1-bk17. 2.6.9-rc2 and following all cannot do periodic timer signals. I looked through the changelog but I cannot see anything that would cause the problem. Roland's patch surely could not have done this. Will try to track this down further, time permitting... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
