If I dont give any boot options and leave my system as it was, I need to boot and as fast as possible use glxgears to keep the processor at a certain level, from freezing, but is hard to do. overall I think this has to do with nohz, right now I have nohz=off with highress on and the system seems to be behaving properly. regards; -- Justin P.
