I would also like to know, if this does affect Linux? My Linux (Gentoo) shows currently, that the Atom should be running at 1600 MHz. But when I compile a kernel, this takes much much longer (IIRC, about 3 times slower) than on my older N270 Atom notebook. Could be this also a CPU clock programming issue? That would explain a lot.. > On 2012-11-14 02:06, Soren Kristensen wrote: >> Sounds like there might be a CPU clock programming issue, I'll look into >> it and fix it asap, should just be a comBIOS update. > > Any idea when we'll get this?

But as Soren said, its not top on the list, but he wanted to have a look into it. > Cheers, > Lon Willett Cheers, Conrad _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
