Hello,

What has happened between 2.6.30.9 and 2.6.32.8 with regard to hpet timers?

dmesg output from 2.6.30.9 does show activity but 2.6.32.8 and beyond don't.
Also /proc/timer_list doesn't show hpet anymore. Also on 2.6.34 no hpet
in timer_list.

relevant .config:
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_HPET=y
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=y

And I have hpet=force on the kernel commandline for this VIA Epia
LT10000 board.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Udo

What does dmesg show on your machine?

Please see below.
The LT10000 replaced a VIA Epia EK8000 where hpet did work.
LT10000 has VIA CX700 chips.

ACPI is enabled. APM is disabled.

Epia LT BIOS is at 1.01 presumably. BIOS update to 1.03  fails as
vf-1.02.exe, presumably due to freedos, does not recognise the VIA board
and complains about it.

Also due to board swap last year it can be the case that HPET has so far
not worked at all on EPIA LT.

The board has VIA C7 CPU and VIA CX700M2 Unified Digital Media IGP
chipset which supports HPET.

Can it be that the kernel lacks support for CX700 hpet?
Or is it a matter of getting the BIOS upgrade to work?

Udo

Your current BIOS doesn't provide an HPET ACPI table, which is the way 
it's supposed to indicate support. The kernel only supports 
force-enabling HPET on VIA for VT8235 and VT8237.

Is there a workaround?
VIA was not so helpfull: the bios flash tool they have on the site does
not recognise the board as a VIA board.
Also they state the latest BIOS will not add HPET to ACPI table.

So what else can I do to enable HPET?

Kind regards,
Udo

Could I adapt the old patch for 8237 to force-enable HPET?

If so: I might need to find out in what ways the C700X2 and VT8237
differ w.r.t. HPET and/or id. Anyone here that could help?

Or should blindly enabling HPET (as in VT8237) help?

Udo

The attached patch does indeed enable HPEt on VIA Epia LT.

At this point, not much, unless you can track down the chipset
information that would allow us to implement force enabling HPET on
that chipset..

Patch does make hpet appear on VIA Epia LT (CX700M2 chipset) with
hpet=force on kernel commandline.

Have you enabled ACPI in the BIOS and kernel config? AFAIK, HPET timers, need some backup timers, for HPET to be enabled.
