However, after the glowing reports from the weekend, I decided to upgrade my laptop to -current to try and work on some PCCARD stuff on the road. However, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing re: the clock messages now. FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #2: Mon Jun 10 12:46:29 MDT 1996 root@nec.sri.MT.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/CARD Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock ... i586 clock: 75171042 Hz, i8 254 clock: 1193196 Hz CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION not specified - using default frequency CLK_USE_I586_CALIBRATION not specified - using old calibration method i586 clock: 0 Hz CPU: Pentium (75.16-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x524 Stepping=4 Features=0x1bf I'm assuming I'm supposed to define one or both of the above, but why? How do I determine which one is the more accurate, since obviously the i854 clock is not running at the same frequency as my Pentium chip. :) Bruce, what do you want done here? Nate
