Subject: Re: Linux VM completely lost it`s timesource !?
Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:12:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <141150637@web.de> (raw)

cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
acpi_pm

cannot switch to any other clocksource, "echo tsc|jiffies|pit >current_clocksource" doesn`t have any effect. 
current_clocksource stays at acpi_pm

maybe somebody has a clue what to check besides this?

thanks
roland
