Bug#412194: further information / possible fix
Dear maintainers,
after looking around in dmesg and other logs i finally found a
disparity:
While linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 is booting with following clock:
#Real Time Clock Driver v1.12ac
#Generic RTC Driver v1.07
The linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 uses pit as clocksource:
#Time: pit clocksource has been installed.
After further digging in the kernel archives and some boards i found
that AMD-MPX-Chipset and dual cpu AthlonMP driven boards like mine
preferably run with acpi_pm as clocksource.
Just one happy case (same strange error, same idea working as a
solution):

However, after adding
"clocksource=acpi_pm"
as an additional boot option for linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 it still
seems to be ignored, as following dmesg-log-entries show:
#Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Debian root=801
clocksource=acpi_pm
#...
#Time: pit clocksource has been installed.
Is there any other way i can force the correct clocksource?
Thank you once again!
