Bug#416715: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: p4-clockmod disables frequencies less than 2GHz
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12
Severity: normal
Please apply the patch at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3453c8478a228d9b374956ea99256163f1a0c88c
.. p4-clockmod has an overly-strict errata workaround that disables all
frequencies less than 2GHz on certain Pentium 4 processors (family F,
model 2, stepping 9). The workaround should instead only disable the
12.5% duty cycle. This patch actually removes the workaround entirely,
based on the justification at http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/148 .
