Now, I'd *love* to have a processor that could do that for real, but don't think my Athlon XP quite makes the grade. :-) Looking through my boot logs, this problem seems to start somewhere between 2.4.19-pre2-ac4 and 2.4.19-pre4-ac1 (I didn't run any of the intervening releases). It's also sporadic -- out of 5 reboots, the proper speed (1466.559 MHz) was detected 2 of the 5 times. Dropping back to 2.4.19-pre2-ac4 gives me correct detection 5 of 5. No config changes were made between these kernels (except =n for any new options). System: Athlon XP 1700+ Soyo SY-K7VX MB (VIA KT266A) 1GB ECC PC2100 Memory Redhat 7.2 (stock+updates with the exception of the kernel and XFree 4.2 (to support my ATI 7500 card) Everything from the P/S to the cpu fan is AMD spec'd and environment sensors show normal. Please let me know if more info is needed... -- -Jonathan * "The mind is like a parachute. It works best when open." *
