If that AMD is running a 32-bit kernel, the code already in the kernel should work just fine (barring hardware issues like busticated HPET/timer and so on). If it doesn't work, we should debug that issue. If you're running a 64-bit kernel, you might want to check here: http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/ The 2.6.22-rc3-hrt2 patch series can be 'quilt'ed onto a -rc3-mmm1 tree with about 20 minutes of work fixing a few trivial rejects (2 or 3 patches already in -mm, and another 2 or 3 trivial rejectts...) --==_Exmh_1180748634_4213P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFGYMtacC3lWbTT17ARAttwAKCKLpgHDLhV7B3V21GEvJ7de1Km2wCfamVK owVV36zydFkjynnevC/5Z/A= =6sbZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1180748634_4213P-- - 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/
