Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello World, I re-stumbled on this installing Gentoo on VMware today; http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/23/312 It doesn't seem to be fixed in 2.6.22-rc7, but I might be mistaken somehow. Has anyone done any work on this or looked at the problem in more detail? The trail seems to die at that thread. It is affecting VMware for me mainly but a lot of heavy server hardware seems to use the chip, in fact some I am looking at right now to recommend purchasing on.. I'd really like to use the latest kernel because virtualisation is the key (dynamic ticks and tickless hz and the latest virtualisation options would help eke out more value ;) -- Matt Sealey Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations
