Another kapm-idled related question: In dmesg, I see "Checking
'hlt' instruction... OK.", but since the advent of kapm-idled I'm
pretty sure HLT instructions are not being sent to the cpu. This is
really a guess, since kapm-idled came out just as I built this system
(Tbird 1.4 oc'd to 1.55g). In Windoze, I use a little utility (Rain) to
send HLT's and under moderate load the cpu temps are low 30C's. In
Linux they're mid 40C's. Max temp of ~ 50C to 52C is seen with both
OS's under 100% cpu load (burnK7). This is why I don't think HLT's are
being sent in Linux.
Any ideas on this? Anyway to verify whether or not HLT's are
enabled? I'm usin kernel-2.4.17.2mdk and a kt133a chipset motherboard
(Soyo k7vta pro).
