Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Severity: minor
Version: 2.6.8-10
Hi!
There is a problem with ACPI module "processor" in recent 2.6er kernels.
After loading this module my pentium-m notebook (ACER TM291) makes a very=20
high-pitched sound (not the fan) on idle. It sounds like an old CRT monitor
shortly before its end. :-)=20
It's caused by a change in include/asm-i386/param.h, where HZ was set=20
from 100 to 1000.
I have already send my notebook back to the vendor for repair the=20
"singing capacitor" on the mainboard, but I got it back unrepaired.=20
They could not reproduce this behavoiur under Windows. :-(
This uses a 100Hz timer, so I have no chance of repair.
Google tells, it is a known problem which was previously discussed at Kernel
Bug Tracker.=20
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D2478
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3549
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3406
But the patch for "#define HZ" was rejected.
Since I'm not sure that the found solution (disabling of C3) is the best=20
solution and this patch will be included in 2.6.10, I'd like to ask you=20
for a Debian patch to switch back to HZ=3D100.=20
Please consider to add attached patch.
I like the distribution kernel very much (together with m-a) and it would
be a pity to have to build my own kernel caused by this issue.
Kindly regards,
Erik
