Hi,
I get this message not always, but often during boot. Here is what #cat /var/log/messages | grep TSC shows me. From november 7th, this message exists. (since update to this kernel: 3.7.0-rc4-4-desktop i686)
Nov 11 11:24:40 EeePc-Rob-SFN9 kernel: tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed Nov 11 11:24:40 EeePc-Rob-SFN9 kernel: tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle states deeper than C2
That's just a diagnostic message.
Is there anything i can/have to do about it?
AFAIK, you would need to put a different CPU into your machine to get rid of this message.
Some of us see the following: tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT tsc: Detected 2000.279 MHz processor tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 4000.55 BogoMIPS (lpj=8001116) This message arises on an HP laptop with an AMD dual-core CPU running at 2 GHz. As it gets the CPU frequency correct, I have ignored the message for years.
