I believe the ATI chipset managed to somehow get the timer interrupt to arive both on the legacy 8259 and the APIC causing each timer tick to count twice. Nice way to double your system time rate. The nforce2 didn't double, it just ran fast some of the time, which I have no idea how happened, but it went away with newer kernels (and wasn't there with earlier kernels either). -- Len Sorensen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
