Re: Linux VM completely lost it`s timesource !?

[devzero]

cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
acpi_pm

cannot switch to any other clocksource, "echo tsc|jiffies|pit >current_clocksource" doesn`t have any effect. 
current_clocksource stays at acpi_pm

maybe somebody has a clue what to check besides this?

thanks
roland
