This: --- a/arch/i386/kernel/hpet.c~a +++ a/arch/i386/kernel/hpet.c @@ -376,7 +376,7 @@ int __init hpet_enable(void) clocksource_register(&clocksource_hpet); - if (id & HPET_ID_LEGSUP) { + if (0 && (id & HPET_ID_LEGSUP)) { hpet_enable_int(); hpet_reserve_platform_timers(id); /* _ gets it working. It basically nobbles the hpet and the kernel chose the TSC clocksource instead. btw, if you want to know why I go on and on about crappy commenting, try to work out from the kernel source code what HPET_ID_LEGSUP is, and why it gets special treatment. It is not possible. This is not maintainable code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
