Yes, tglx's HPET patch has been merged into 2.6.24, so you should start from this. I don't know about the second patch you mention, but it certainly doesn't apply cleanly to 2.6.24 anymore. Your best bet is to check with the original author to see if his changes are a) yet unmerged and b) worthy of an up-to-date patch. _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
