I'm sorry for the generality of this question. I need to overclock again and write down the messages this week. I have a PC (Compaq Presario with a Predator motherboard) that I have successfully overclocked to 133 (132.67 actually, 66*2) from 120. I get no error messages in FreeBSD at bootup in 133. When I overclock to 150 (152.74, 50*3), I get a message pertaining to, if I remember, unable to sync the disks (EIDE). Is this speedup too much in that I must reload FreeBSD(I'm not opposed to it) or is it just too fast for my disks? Anyone familiar with Compaq Predators? The CMOS is on the hard drive(UUGGGHH!!!) and I can get to it and make changes and reboot, but I can't get the OS to load. I have identical removable root drives, one with FBSD, one with W95. I get the same (I'm assuming) results: unstable OS loading. I promise I will send more info later. Is there anything you can surmise from what I have written so far? -- UNIX Rules!!!
