Everything is running fast!!!
Okay, I installed linux on my laptop and everything runs fast! Everything; the clock, repeat rates, animations, whatever. I think it has something to do with he scaleable laptop cpu (its a turion).
How do i fix this? A real fix, not just something telling me to use a ntp server, or changing my repeat rates. There is something going on here. Thanks :) Okay, another note: I have come to the conclusion that the thing is running almost 2x as fast as it should. after running for about an 2 hours, the system clock is way ahead of the hardware clock. i dont know whats causing this... |
Could it have something to do with your voltage/clock speed settings in BIOS? Just a guess...
|
well, i have figured out that my cpu clock is running at 1.6 ghz, the full clock. even when it scales down to 800 mhz though i have the exact same problem. (my system clock runs 2x too fast)

I just posted this to answer what sounds like the same question but on the Fedora mailing list.

Try adding: no_timer_check=0 to your kernel boot parameters. There is an open kernel bug for this problem. Cheers, Dave |

thanks! it worked!

I have an AMD64 3500 running. I'm running mandriva 2006 RC1. I have tried the no_timer_check=0 and the noapic parameters. The noapic works but it causes significant problems with the ethernet connection. I'd rather not pass that parameter. Do you know of any other hacks? Thanks |
no_timer_check=0 works great for me...
|
Unfortunately, nothing of this works for me.
Does anyone know whether this has been fixed in later versions of kernel, like 2.6.12+? I browsed the net a lot, I tried several things like acpi=off (doesn't come up), noapic (doesn't come up, too), acpi_skip_timer_override (nothing happens) etc The only thing I haven't tried was to alter the kernel source and re-compile it and re-install. Does enyone know how to fix this problem this way? |
not often we hear people complaining about how their computer runs too fast :P j/k

if were that serious i would install windows or something until a kernel update or something... unless it is do-able |
Hey guys, I'm new to linux and have the same problem with FC4 and an AMD64 chip. Where exactly is the kernal boot file where I can add that parameter? thanks.

Try adding "acpi=noirq noapic" to you kernel boot parameter without the quotes.
I am runnning debian unstable on a 64-bit semperon laptop. adding noapic will fix the clock but it messes up everything else adding acpi=noirq before the noapic fixes both. I have tried adding no_timer_check to the boot parameter and it did not work, but I will try the no_timer_check=0 tonite and se what happens. |
