... this new kernel boots (and seems to work) fine on the iP and the
Tillamook that caused the problems before. It doesn't seem to break
anything as well, since a so-patched kernel still runs fine on the Cyrix
6x86L. I also tested it on a i486SX where everything seems to work fine as
well.
The iP and the Tillamook get their clock frequency detected (in the case
of the iP, /proc/cpuinfo says 120.00 +- 0.01 MHz, which is totally correct,
whereas the Tillamook is detected to run at 265267154 Hz = 265.26 +- 0.01
MHz... did they cheat me when they sold me a Tillamook 266? :-) )
The 6x86L and the i486SX don't display the clock frequency, but I think
this is caused because they don't have (correctly working) TSCs.
So, thanks a lot for the work you put into this and for your fast response!
