Greetings, we are running an overclocked Intel Core i7-3.3GHz box (for a specific purpose). The BIOS shows the increased CPU frequency correctly, but after booting OpenSolaris 06/09, psrinfo reports the original 3,3GHz. The same thing happens with Linux, but not with Windows where the machine has been validated to run stable.
We assume that both; Solaris and Linux, get the "right" CPU clock speed not from the frequency multiplier in the BIOS, but from the ACPI frequency tables for this CPU which are not affected by tweaking the "front side bus" multiplier. Is this assumption correct, and how can we make the machine run with the increased clock speed based on the frequency multiplier? thanks, Joachim -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
