Comment 13 for bug 1179282

hi vitorafsr,

sorry for the very late response.

here are the results of your modified i8k module:

Aug 3 22:01:13 raph-laptop kernel: [ 424.989723] i8k_smm function took 745 usecs
Aug 3 22:01:13 raph-laptop kernel: [ 424.989805] i8k_smm function took 78 usecs

Aug 3 22:01:13 raph-laptop kernel: [ 425.490772] i8k_smm function took 72 usecs

The fivth time is about half a second, it seems to be the time of the system freeze.
Maybe this helps to locate the problem.

If you need more information, I will try to answer now faster.

Thanks for your time!

Best regards
