Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp
Version: 2.6.12-10
Severity: minor

Regarding  my own installation (bug) report #341096 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341096)
I just want to file my kernel issue directly to the related linux-2.6 package
to clarify if it is a bug or not and if the solution is the proper way
to handle the issue.

Here the iimportant part my original installation report:

I changed to a smp kernel and got problems with the clock running much
too fast. I found some kernel options in some forums which solved the
problem:
notsc no_timer_check

http://groups.google.de/group/linux.debian.ports.x86-64/browse_frm/thread/4aae438ff566835a/d3db60cab325acc6?lnk=st&q=linux+amd+dual+core+clock&rnum=6&hl=de#d3db60cab325acc6

---

I'm not sure if this is the correct solution for the clock problem.
But I have a productive system working fine since two weeks with the
notsc no_timer_check options.

Cheers

Martin Hans

Hello,

this seems to be a hardware problem, and as you already found the kernel
workaround parameters (notsc no_timer_check), I am closing the bug.

Best regards
