Subject: [Xenomai-core] bad/slow TSC hw  detected by  2.6.17-rc1-mm1
Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2006 16:04:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4436C5DF.6060005@domain.hid> (raw)

FYI,

Ive just built 17-rc1-mm1, and noted that the new time-keeping-system
http://lwn.net/Articles/176837/

can now detect the buggy TSC on my GEODE-sc1100 cpu,
and also that its apparently fixable by adding 'idle=poll' to 
kernel-boot-line.
