I searched > the kernel source code and didn't find it. you can do ( the .config file used is compiled into the kernel ) zcat /proc/config.gz | grep HZ Looks like this: # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set CONFIG_HZ_250=y # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set CONFIG_HZ=250 ( 250 Hz for my box ) usually it is also copied into /boot/ when installing the new kernel as config-<$kernelversion> Change it in the /usr/src/linux/.config file or use make <UI of choice>config in /usr/src/linux/ before building a new kernel. uwe _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
