Aha, here is my output on 2 x 1 GHz: <4>Using local APIC timer interrupts. <4>calibrating APIC timer ... <4>..... CPU clock speed is 1004.5421 MHz. <4>..... host bus clock speed is 133.9388 MHz. <4>cpu: 0, clocks: 1339388, slice: 446462 <4>CPU0 <4>cpu: 1, clocks: 1339388, slice: 446462 <4>CPU1 <4>checking TSC synchronization across CPUs: passed. <4>Waiting on wait_init_idle (map = 0x2) <4>All processors have done init_idle And the same part for 2 x 933 MHz: <4>Using local APIC timer interrupts. <4>calibrating APIC timer ... <4>..... CPU clock speed is 937.5672 MHz. <4>..... host bus clock speed is 133.9380 MHz. <4>cpu: 0, clocks: 1339380, slice: 446460 <4>CPU0 <4>cpu: 1, clocks: 1339380, slice: 446460 <4>CPU1 <4>checking TSC synchronization across CPUs: passed. <4>Waiting on wait_init_idle (map = 0x2) <4>All processors have done init_idle I would say this means the TSC skew fix is broken and shooting down your box. What do you think, Alan? Regards, Stephan
