I've looked at the PAO package, but at this time it just locks the machine (reading the FAQ's etc. shows they don't yet properly support the PCMCIA chipset in the 800 :-( So I'm running plain 2.2.5-Release... My problem is that during the Kernel boot the system reckons the CPU is running at 50 MHz (when it's a P100) - this means I get loads of kernel messages like:- /kernel: calcru negative offset -231ms appearing all the time... I've tried fiddling with the kernel config (the various calibration systems etc. for the CPU / 8254 clocks) - but all to no avail... The laptop is running with no power saving, and I've also tried enabling APM support in the kernel - but no luck yet... Anyone got any hints on how to get rid of this annoying message? - perhaps a way of forcibly telling the kernel the CPU clock is 100 MHz? Regards, Karl Pielorz (mailto:kpielorz@tdx.co.uk)
