Package: kernel
Version: 2.4.25
I am running debian kernel 2.4.25 (in the form of demudi:
2.4.25-1-multimedia-686) on a toshiba portege 7140CT laptop
I am having a strange and very impeding issue which is that on boot the
processor is sometimes misdiagnosed at a slower speed (and then my machine
really does run slower!)
So right now:
Detected 258.913 MHz processor.
and previously
Detected 497.570 MHz processor.
(which would be about right)
also I've had a 381MHz detection.
I've googled a bit, and have concluded that whilst it could be the bios
settings relating to battery power-saving modes it is _not_ this
because
i) the BIOS battery setting is set to proceesor speed=high
ii) this problem doesn't seem to be related to being disconnected from
AC power. Right now at 259MHz for example, I'm on the mains (& was at
boot)
I would be happy to provide more information and run diagnostics
I was not aware of this having happened with earlier kernels (eg 2.4.18,
2.4.20, but it _may_ have been that i missed this ??) Alternatively maybe
my hardware is just being flaky... as I said I'm happy to try to diagnose,
but will need some pointers.
(this message has also gone to debian-laptop and debian-users but as yet i
have had no replies, I am thus reporting a bug, as I can't find anything
else related on google.)
thanks
dee

I don't believe that there is a 2.4.25 kernel currently supported by
Debian. Could you please try with 2.4.27?
