Should this apply to a vanilla 2.6.22rc4 kernel? I get a number of failed
hunks. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't see what it is. I've
repeated this a few times.
Yes, it is a patch to a vanilla 2.6.22-rc4. I have used it and I got no hunks.
I have a problem with it, tough. Its power usage is almost 3 Watts more than
a vanilla 2.6.22-rc4 or 2.6.22-rc4-hrt2 and it broke powertop´s
display of C-states info.
Following Andre´s Muller teaching in the last email, I found out that
it indeed was using
hpet as a clocksource. And if I change it on the fly to use tsc my
desktop becomes very
slow and it is almost imposible to use.
So I gave up trying it on my machine, and I am back to 2.6.22-rc4,
trying to get used to <extra timer interrupt> being at the top of
powertop´s listing.
I wonder if there is a minimal enable-hpet-on-ICH4 patch, without all
the extra things in
-hrt7...
