Re: [suse-amd64] many lost ticks

Hi Andi,

And on uniprocessors, with 2 cores? ;)

Thanks for the info, I will remove the clock=pmtmr from my boot line.

Cheers, Jon.

Unofficially, clock=pmtmr should at least reduce the amount of lost ticks.

I doubt it will help on 64bit kernels, which don't have this option (ok placebos are sometimes known to help on computers too ;-) clock= only exists on 32bit.

notsc might do the trick on 64bit though. However it will only work on multi processor systems. On uniprocessor there is currently no way to force another clock.
