On my 42p (work machine), I normally use USB floppy with FreeDOS to flash the BIOS -- IBM^H^H^HLenovo usually distributes two BIOS updates -- you want one marked as the "floppy version". I think if you look through the mail archives, you should be able to find suggestion on making bootable CD, if USB floppy is out of reach. <skip> > -- I set low CPU state to C2 in rc.conf > > performance_cx_lowest="C2" # Online CPU idle state > > economy_cx_lowest="C2" # Offline CPU idle state > > Done.

Well, let's cvsup on the close dates (I do it on the regular basis anyway), take my kernel config, build identical kernels, ditch the X completely, remove systems from docks and away from cooling pads, run something CPU-intensive and compare notes. We can do it off-list and post summary in the case of success. For starters, why don't you send me your output of pciconf -lv and /var/run/dmesg.boot along with /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf. You can add you kernel config for the good measure. > > Thanks, > > Johannes > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko
