Thanks for the info. I am preparing the machine now to re-compile the kernel. I have found a link to a patch for the fast clock on a site that covers SuSE 9.3 on the Acer Ferrari.
I will see if that works.
Following up: I compiled a new kernel after applying the patch for the timer and the machine is running very nice now. http://www.triplenet.dk/~xerne/linux/timerhack.diff I have even re-enabled the PowerNow! in the BIOS and the CPU frequency scaling in powersaved. The machine runs nice and cool and the CPU speed is adjusted as needed. Very nice. Now I only have a problem with APIC errors in the log files and suspend does not work yet. I have tried using the kernel option 'noapic', but that cause a kernel panic. I have now made a few changes to the kernel options and compiled a new kernel. Will try it soon. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
