I forgot that I had two Nvidia 7300s in the machine. I removed one and all of the problems went away. cpuinfo now shows the clock at 2400 MHz too. Still a very strange problem. I thought linux supported two video cards. Only remaining problem is that I cannot boot with RAID 1 installation. Still comes up with no opereating system found even though I can boot on a clean non-RAID install on either disk.
