asterisk users - Jan 2006 - ztdummy on opteron

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Been running asterisk in test for a while on ix86 and wanted to ramp up
the system a bit.  So we got a dual opteron server in for the production
install and in my preliminary configuration i noticed that the insmod
ztdummy produces the following:

ztdummy: This module requires the kernel HZ setting to be 1000 ticks per
second

has anyone run across this?  Is this just a bonehead mistake on my part?

Scratch that... I just found my own solution... kernel timer was set to
250 Hz which is the middle of the road timer frequency for smp/numa
systems.  DOH!

This basicaly means you need to recompile the kernel with HZ=1000.
On a 2.6.x kernel in make menuconfig you can find this under
Processor type and features  --->
    Timer frequency (1000 HZ)  --->
        100,250,1000
