Re: [Qemu-devel] Fedora Core 2 very slow

[ben <bennet@libertysurf.fr>]

On windows while booting i ve got a message "TSC cannot be used as a 
timesource"
and then computer is very slow.
It seems that there s a problem with clock timing in fedora and others 
kernel.
I managed to make it faster with this boot option at the prompt
    linux clock=hpet
(found with google)
I m searching for the most appropriate setinng for clock.

Host : Win XP
qemu 0.5.6
