I am running debian kernel 2.4.25 (in the form of demudi: 2.4.25-1-multimedia-686) on a toshiba portege 7140CT laptop (this message has also gone to debian-laptop but as yet i have had no replies)
I am having a strange and very impeding issue which is that on boot the processor is sometimes misdiagnosed at a slower speed. I first noticed this because when this happens my machine really does run slower! So right now: Detected 258.834 MHz processor. (ooef!) and previously Detected 497.570 MHz processor. (which would be about right) also I've had a 381MHz detection. I've googled a bit, and have concluded that whilst it could be the bios settings relating to battery power-saving modes it is not actually this because i) the BIOS battery setting is set to proceesor speed=high ii) this problem doesn't seem to be related to being disconnected from AC power. Right now at 259MHz for example, I'm on the mains (& was at boot) This is slightly kookie, resolution only by random reboots, apparently. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks dee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
