I am probably the least authoritative person here, but my limited testing seems to indicate that those systems will perform at the lowest possible speed setting (600MHz in this case). I would expect the CPU to start up in the fastest speed setting so even if the OS can't adjust those frequencies (as is the case with 5.1), the machine would perform at its maximum. Yet this doesn't seem to be the case here.
I would really appreciate some insight from Soren on this - is this combios-related? > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Shechter [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 9:45 AM > To: Mitja Muženič > Cc: Josh; [email protected]; Stuart Henderson > Subject: Re: [Soekris] Soekris 6501-70 / 6501-50 Network Throughput > under Debian / OpenBSD > > What happens for systems which do not support hw.setperf in 5.1?
