Re: system time
i did dmesg | grep freq and got this:
OpenPIC timer frequency is 4.160000 MHz
time_init: decrementer frequency = 16.640000 MHz
i have an iBook G3 500 i believe, i do have the file timebase-frequency and all
those files in
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,750
but I cannot open an of those files.
ntpdate did work, so my time is normal now,
thanks,
Jule
