Re: strange clock behaviour on a laptop
Thanks a lot for your reponses and sorry for my delay, I just had been busy trying to understand all your information. Indeed, the version of the BIOS firmware, according to the data provided in HP website, is completely updated (Nov, 22th, 2005). The discussion in bugzilla is a little tricky for me so I'm not an expert in computer science. I also tried to enter the kernel option acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP and It doesn't run. I'll be very glad for further comments ? Do you need more data ? Thanks again, David Gasa i Castell From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (A. P.
