Summary says it all. Calling nanosleep() or using /bin/sleep will never end waiting, ^C works though. Needless to say this breaks things pretty soon.

This is on a Fujitsu-Siemens thin client with crappy INSYDE BIOS.

acpi_timer0: <32-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x9c10-0x9c13 on acpi0

Linux or other OSes work fine. Where do I start to dig?

Please paste output from "grep -i time /var/run/dmesg.boot" on FreeBSD; maybe also 'sysctl kern.timecounter kern.eventtimer'.

If possible, it would be helpful for you to determine which timer Linux chooses on this platform (perhaps it is logged in dmesg or discoverable some other way).

Choosing TSC instead of shitty ACPI solved the issue, thanks!

When sleep hangs, can you show output from:

procstat -ak


--HPS
