Actually, I experienced freezes with AMD64 using any frequency scaling in the kernel. I was using cpufreqd, but even without a userland daemon and just toggling things myself via echo, I could get my system to lock up. I was testing things using 32-bit mplayer in a chroot to play a Real Audio stream. As soon as I took out all frequency scaling of my kernel, the system was rock solid. This was all done from a console without loading my nVidia module and no X running, so I can say with a decent amount of certainty that there may be problems in general with frequency scaling and AMD64 kernels. -- Mark Nipper e-contacts: 4475 Carter Creek Parkway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apartment 724 http://nipsy.bitgnome.net/ Bryan, Texas, 77802-4481 AIM/Yahoo: texasnipsy ICQ: 66971617 (979)575-3193 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GG/IT d- s++:+ a- C++$ UBL++++$ P--->+++ L+++$ !E--- W++(--) N+ o K++ w(---) O++ M V(--) PS+++(+) PE(--) Y+ PGP t+ 5 X R tv b+++@ DI+(++) D+ G e h r++ y+(**) ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ---begin random quote of the moment--- "Zack, living in truth feels good.
