Is this a notebook computer?  Is it that you're sometimes booting it up
while the system is unplugged (ie. on battery)?

cpu speed is 165mhz instead of real 650mhz

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello guys!

This periodicly appears in my system. The Kernel seems to misdetect the
right cpu speed and then it's running only at 165mhz.
I don't really understand why this happens, there's no acpi enabled, which
caused this failure the last time.

I attached .config of 2.5.24 [which still runs fine with devfs :) ]
and /proc/cpuinfo.

Please cc me when answering.

.config/cpuinfo

btw, after switching power off/on it worked again. And I don't understand why.
after rebooting it kept the same.

Attached cpuinfos from older kernels, because I forgot to save the other
one before rebooting.

yes,it is, but slowing down to 500 mhz is the only  available speedstep
option.

165 or similar is not supported (afaik) by the bios/processor.

The cpu speed is detected by comparing the TSC against the
PIT.  The PIT is used to drive the clock.  If it is wrong by
this much you should see time drifting like mad.  If the TSC
is wrong, you should see errors in the sub 1/HZ correction
applied to get_time_of_day().  You could detect this by
looping on a get_time_of_day() call and noticing that time
slides ahead 3/HZ seconds and then back each tick.  What
would be happening is that the interpolation code would be
taking the fast TSC (i.e. 500MHZ when it thought it was 165)
and be pushing time out beyond the next tick value.  Each
tick this would reset and be replayed.  If neither of these
is happening, the reported value is most likely what is
really going on.

Once again I am on a 147Mhz system....

I don't even now any of these both.

Hey, you are right! Instead of 13 o'clock it's 5 o'clock.
What todo now ? I am staying on this downclocked system, if you
need some more informations.

Nice explanation. I think I understood 85 % of it :)
