Hello all,
Have had lots of probs with this laptop and decided just to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Debian (for the first time ever - oh the shame) even tho all probs would be fixable - but I needed a working laptop. Anyway it's all working but KDE feels very slow, and looked up the CPU speed and Linux reports it to be 259MHz while it should be 750MHz as the BIOS reports.
When using the 2.4.26 kernel with custom .config file. Taking the info from dmesg:
Initializing CPU#0 Detected 258.884 MHz processor. Calibrating delay loop... 534.11 BogoMIPS CPU: L1 I cache: 16K, L1 D cache: 16K CPU: L2 cache: 256K Intel machine check architecture supported. Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0. CPU: After generic, caps: 0383f9ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: Common caps: 0383f9ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 0a Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
From cat /proc/cpuinfo:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 10 cpu MHz : 258.884 cache size : 256 KB
While using the stock bf24 kernel - dmesg reports:
Initializing CPU#0 Detected 746.766 MHz processor. Calibrating delay loop... 1490.94 BogoMIPS Intel machine check architecture supported. Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0. CPU: After generic, caps: 0383f9ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: Common caps: 0383f9ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 0a Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
and doing cat /proc/cpuinfo gets: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 10 cpu MHz : 746.766 cache size : 256 KB
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Cheers - Piers
