similar to: compaq r4000 /proc/cpuinfo reports 997 and should be 2400

Gents, I first installed the 32 bit version (as you might have read) of centos 4.2, after downloading x86_64 the install process/progress is about the same. going VERY slow... The screen for formatting the partitions took a LONG time (3 partitions 10 GIG, 2 GIG swap and 50 GIG). While on that screen and moving the mouse it lagged big time and could not keep up. Anyway just reporting that so far

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...

After a couple hours last night.... doing a "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" bumps up the /proc/cpuinfo information for cpu mhz to 2393 Mhz. I did notice a little increase after that. However, the machine is still sluggish. I did a "hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda" but really did not notice any difference. I tried to download fglrx64_6_8_0_8.16.20-1.x86_64.rpm from ati (also 8.20.8) and get

I finally got the time to try the new kernel. recompiled it and now the compaq r4000 seems like an amd 64 4000+. THe issues of sloowww ness seemed to have gone away.

Hi all, I think I've spotted a few stupidities (bugs) in the current version of kernel-utils (kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80). I'm sure these are all propagated from upstream, but I hope someone could have a quick look to verify this and see if we either can push complaints upwards, or provide local fixes. The kernel-utils package provides several 'kernel-type' functions -

I am trying to install x86_64 on a compaq r4000 laptop. booting the CD I have tried text mode only and graphicaly mode. I see the normal stuff flying by and I just get a black screen (in text for graphic install). I have tried linux acpi=off apci=off nousb nopcmcia linux noprobe all result in the same black screen. Once the screen goes black the CD is still being accessed but the screen is

Anyone tried installing centos 4.2 on an compaq R4000? The CD boots, I hit enter, starts uncompressing the kernel detects my disks (last thing I see) then the screen is BLANK. I tried "linux text" also and exact same thing happens. THanks, Jerry

Chris, I have a compaq AMD r4000 x86_64. grabbing the latest kernel and compiling it fixed my clock skew. I have not had any slow disk issues. again the kernel may help doing the command: killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed makes the CPU run faster. Hope that helps.

Sorry to have so many questions but I seem to have quite a few mini problems with my first Xen setup. My xen server works fine with Powernow on the standard Kernel but with the Xen kernel it fails. Does anyone know why? Details below. With Standard Kernel powernow-k8: Found 2 Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8350 processors (8 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0x0

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail

Hi! I would like to know the status of the frequency scaling in XEN. I found a web site saying that XEN doesn’t work with frequency scaling, at the other hand I found some fixes for powernow-k8 to get rid of some messages. I have an AMD64. powerno-k8 works find with non-XEN kernels, but with XEN-kernels I get the error: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ processors

Could anyone summarize what the support status of cpu frequency changes is at present. I don''t seem to recall generic changes to the hpyervisor in that respect, but the linux tree has fairly extensive changes to the powernow-k8 driver (which would make sense to me only if all other cpufreq drivers are fully supported now, too). Thanks, Jan

Hi, I recently subscribed to xen-users asking about a powernow-k8 problem, but in the meantime I am not sure if the users-list was the right place for it. So I decided to repeat my question here ;-) My current config is attached. --- snip --- Hi, I recently installed Xen on my AMD64 for my first time and so far, everything seems to work pretty fine. :-) I tried to enable cpu frequency
