Hi, i have tried with your updated version: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : PPC970, altivec supported clock : 1800.000000MHz revision : 2.2 processor : 1 cpu : PPC970, altivec supported clock : 1800.000000MHz revision : 2.2 timebase : 33333333 machine : PowerMac7,2 motherboard : PowerMac7,2 MacRISC4 Power Macintosh detected as : 336 (PowerMac G5) pmac flags : 00000000 pmac-generation : NewWorld just wondering, is the timebase suppose to look like this? and where are the bogomips gone? $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.11-pseries ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.4.4 (Debian 3.4.4-0ubuntu3)) #1 SMP Fri Jun 3 17:32:34 UTC 2005 $ grep PM72 /boot/config-2.6.11-p* /boot/config-2.6.11-power4-smp:CONFIG_THERM_PM72=y /boot/config-2.6.11-pseries:# CONFIG_THERM_PM72 is not set it is still as noisy as in an aircraft here :) $ grep ALTIVEC /boot/config-2.6.11-p* /boot/config-2.6.11-power4-smp:# CONFIG_ALTIVEC is not set /boot/config-2.6.11-pseries:CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y nice, thanks paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
