I think I've isolated the problem child: MSI's Dynamic Overclocking features... The MSI "Core Cell" chipset will modify the CPU frequency within certain parameters as the CPU needs more oomph (like a kernel recompile :^P ), but will drop it once it heats up or things become "unstable" or the CPU is getting idle again. What I still need to ascertain, is whether the MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nForce2 250) *do* have a HPET implementation or not, as my timer.c only reports a PIT timer :( -- Hendrik Visage - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
