Re: test 10 breaks on alpha

The clock on some alpha systems might be at 1200 Hz...
you've rather to use HZ:

   --- /usr/src/linux/include/asm-alpha/param.h.orig Wed Nov 1 12:31:56
   2000
   +++ /usr/src/linux/include/asm-alpha/param.h Wed Nov 1 12:33:22 2000
   @@ -27,4 +27,8 @@

    #define MAXHOSTNAMELEN 64 /* max length of hostname */

   +#ifdef __KERNEL__
   +# define CLOCKS_PER_SEC HZ
   +#endif
   +
    #endif /* _ASM_ALPHA_PARAM_H */

and, yes... this patch works, at least on a 500au I've got
 2.4.0t10 running on.
[BTW: the 500au is a Miata, hence the frequency is 1024 Hz]

Cheers,
