It seems the PIT (which is used in 486 build) is being disabled in the Geode config. However, I thought the Geode's had their own clocksources, either the SCx200 or the GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER. Maybe one of those needs to be enabled? thanks -john -- 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/
