Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've posted this in the questions list - but not gotten any replies... I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5-Release on a laptop (one that sadly doesn't work with the PAO laptop support patches / drivers etc.) When the system boots - the kernel thinks the CPU is only 50Mhz (instead of 100Mhz) - It's an Intel Pentium 100. This is when running the laptop in 'brain dead' mode, i.e. no power saving, no spinning down of the harddrive etc. - and no APM idleing the CPU when it thinks it's not busy... I've fiddled around with the kernel config - in particular the CLK_CALIBRATION type config options - all to no avail... Is there a way of forcing the kernel to beleive the CPU is 100Mhz? - intead of 50Mhz? Regards, Kp
