That's what I expect, but what I get is:
Mon May 17 18:57:17 1999: fwd:362637/4:back max 0000003
Mon May 17 18:57:18 1999: fwd:866801/9:back max 0000003
Mon May 17 18:57:19 1999: fwd:873531/7:back max 0000004
Mon May 17 18:57:20 1999: fwd:872292/8:back max 0000003
Mon May 17 18:57:21 1999: fwd:873949/9:back max 0000003
with max [i.e. maximum clock decrement detected] going up to
5000-10000 (5-10ms) when I'm writing a CD or scrolling a Netscape
window.
Somebody else also reported success with a Dell SMP box running 2.2.9,
so I compiled a copy for myself, but it didn't make any difference
from 2.2.7.
=>Another thing..Perhaps try enabling "MTRR" in the kernel if it's not
=>already to synchronize TSCs at bootup. I'm not sure if MTRR does this or
=>not, actually, so maybe try flashing a new BIOS if all else fails. I know
=>some BIOSes don't synchronize the TSCs properly, and this would confuse
=>gettimeofday()...
I'm using MTRR, but that code doesn't mention the TSC. My box is an
Intel N440BX motherboard with the latest BIOS; what are your Celerons
on?
Thanks for trying the program!
