Re: Linux 2.4.22-ac1 - VIA C3 cpufreq probs

Hi,

I have just tried 2.4.22-ac1 on my VIA C3 EPIA 800 system. Cpufreq
(longhaul) fails both while compiled as a module and compiled in.

I first tried to build it as a module but somehow the module isn't build
at all. Next thing I tried was building it straight in the
kernel....with a direct oops when booting as a result.

The system doesn't have a keyboard or monitor..it did cost me some
fiddling to get it back up running...that's life for a tester...

There also seems to be some problem with the longhaul detection. Normaly
it would print something like:
longhaul: VIA CPU detected. Longhaul version 2 supported
longhaul: CPU currently at 798MHz (133 x 6.0)
longhaul: MinMult(x10)=30 MaxMult(x10)=60
longhaul: Lowestspeed=399000 Highestspeed=798000

But 2.4.22-ac1 printed MinMult and MaxMult to be 0.

Greetings,

Jurgen
