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
