(Resend with CC's fixed) Back in April, Mikko posted a patch to force enable the HPET on some nVidia chipsets:
v2: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/16/46 v3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/17/354 What would need to be done to this patch to get it into x86 now (besides i386/ x86_64 -> x86 conversion), given that: A) There is now a force_hpet boot parameter in the x86 tree (mm branch) (rather than relying on the solution in the earlier patches of a config option). B) On the other hand, the force-quirk's are going into quirks.c, whilst Mikko's patch requires PCI scanning in early_quirks.c (could the PCI scanning be done in early_quirks.c and the actual HPET enabling handled in quirks.c later - or if not, could this early quirk play be made to obey the force_hpet boot option)? -Carlos -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - 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/
