Hi,

I've had a similar problem with an A7T, if I'm not mistaken it's due
to a bug in the thurion timer, you can use
machdep.cpu_idle_hlt="0"
in your loader.conf as a workaround.

This has been fixed few hours ago.

Great to hear ! It's been annoying me for some times.

Thanks for your work !

Olivier
