Yes it is a Hetzner machine!

I will try acpi=off as soon as possible.

I wonder, what the disadvantage are.
The hypervisor will still regulate CPU frequency, will it not?

Also, is the dom0 kernel doing something that it shouldn't do?
(maybe something that collides with the ACPI-related activities of the
hypervisor, if there are any?)
