Package: linux-image-2.6-686-etchnhalf Version: 2.6.24+13~etchnhalf.1 Severity: normal
I use VMware Server 1.0.6 on a MS Windows XP SP3 host. My guest is a netinst debian 4.0r3 installed as a standard system (console only). I've done: $ aptitude update $ aptitude -y upgrade $ aptitude -y install linux-image-2.6-686-etchnhalf In order to get right with the tine synchronization from VMware, I modified the /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel line with the following parameters: kernel .... ro clocksource=pit noapic nolapic for the 2 kernels: 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 After a reboot with 2.6.24 kernel (etchnhalf) the following results appears when doing: $ cat /var/log/dmesg | grep clock Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro clocksource=pit noapic nolapic vga=791 Time: tsc clocksource has been installed. After a new reboot with 2.6.18 kernel (Etch): $ cat /var/log/dmesg | grep clock Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro clocksource=pit noapic nolapic vga=791 Time: pit clocksource has been installed. So it seems that clocksource=pit doesn't work anymore with etchnhalf. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-686-etchnhalf depends on: ii linux-image-2.6.24- 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.4 Linux 2.6.24 image on PPro/Celeron linux-image-2.6-686-etchnhalf recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
