Didn’t work for me.. I got the clocksource to change to acpi_pm but I still get the TSC calibration failed.

Hi, I don’t think this is actually the best way to deal with it, it’s like what the ostrich does, you know, like hiding our head in a hole hoping for the problem to go away…
No, what the clocksource=acpi_pm is just set it to acpi_pm, somewhat a ‘failsafe’ method but definitely not the best.
In modern distributions I suggest you to try clocksource=tsc as it is an improved way to handle this clock.
Regards.

I’m new to Linux. I flashed a .iso image of Lubuntu to a flash drive to function as the OS for my final project (mineral oil submerged PC). I get the exact same error on boot up. I see that someone has provided a fix, but what I need help on is how to implement the fix. Where do I enter the “script” that OP provided? I am new to Linux, pardon my ignorance.

But how do you guys modify grub if my system does not boot ? It hangs with the tsc calibration error message….It is not even reachable via ssh from another machine ๐ฆ

This configuration is suboptimal. See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/2/html/Realtime_Reference_Guide/chap-Realtime_Reference_Guide-Timestamping.html
