Hello,
I've recently started compiling i386 kernels with HZ (and also CLOCKS_PER_SEC)
set to 1024 instead of 100 for various reasons. All works perfectly, except
when I play mod files with s3mod on my Gravis UltraSound card. The modules are
played 10 times too fast:

Hello.
Here is a patch (tested on kernels 2.4.3 and 2.4.4) that adds 2 ioctl's in serial.c.
One, TCSSERCPR, sets the CPR register in 16C950 UARTs. This register is a pre-scaler
(that is, a divisor) for the clock. If the value is N, the clock is divided by N/8.
If N8, pre-scaling is disabled
Aunt Tillie doesn't even know what a kernel is, nor does she want
to. I think it's fair to assume that people who configure and
compile their own kernel (as opposed to using the distribution
supplied ones) know what they are doing.
I'd like to break these assumptions. Or at the very least

Not everyone falls into the expert user and Aunt Tillie categories.
It's a *very* big grey area. If some semi-computer-literate user (ie. some
friends of mine!) wants to upgrade their kernel so they have access to
newer hardware (such as a cheap USB

Repost because I got no answer :(
But I have added new information.
2.4.4-ac9 did compile for me with CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_* on.
But it freezes when accessing the floppy.
And it freezes during sound playback.
