To quote Ekkehard Kraemer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # I am having some trouble with a PCI card; the trouble goes away if I # reduce the PCI bus speed slightly (by reducing the FSB speed of my ASUS # A7V mainboard from 100 to 95 MHz). The system (and the PCI bus) is not # overclocked or in any other way non-standard; I suspect that some # oscillator or something like that on the Adaptec is slowly breaking due # to its old age. # # Is it possible to modify the speed of the PCI bus in a running Linux # environment? I.e., is there some command to temporarily reduce it and # return it to its original value later?
In a word, no. This would require special hardware, and from what I know of various low-level hardware bits, it would be rather difficult to do. Sorry. Dave David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)
