[CentOS] compaq v2000 working with correct boot options and compaq r4000 still SLOWWW
Hi,
I have a v2000 compaq laptop. The realtek network and USB on this
machine was not working. After adding to grub.conf
"acpi=off apci=off noacpi noapic"
the v2000 realtek started working and the USB worked fine... Fantastic!
So I thought I would try those same options on my r4000 laptop.
they had no effect.... This AMD turion 64 4000+ rating laptop is still
running SLOWWW...
/proc/cpuinfo has the cpu Mhz running at 2393
below is my dmesg output for the r4000. There is a line talking about
"Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging
interupts"
that seems bad to me but not sure what to do about it .
Any further suggestions would be great. THanks,
Jerry
