Hi, I both agree and disagree with this. x86_64 does support NO_HZ, you just need a 2.6.24 kernel or the -hrt patchkit. So I agree the current message isn't correct.... but I don't think just making it go away is right either; PowerTOP should suggest getting a tickless kernel in that case. > > This lets the other messages -- the ones which could actually do some > good on this system!! -- be seen.
