In a risk of being off-topic, maybe you can help me try the hpet support. When I try the hpet Documentation demo I get # ./hpet poll /dev/hpet 1 1000 -hpet: executing poll hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0 hpet_poll, HPET_IE_ON failed while I have $ dmesg|grep -i HPET ACPI: HPET 7D5B6AE0, 0038 (r1 A M I OEMHPET 5000708 MSFT 97) ACPI: HPET id: 0x8086a301 base: 0xfed00000 hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0 hpet0: 4 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz hpet_resources: 0xfed00000 is busy Time: hpet clocksource has been installed. Any idea what I am misconfiguring? Thanks, Dan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
