[PATCH][RESEND] Mark Longhaul as broken (again)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm very sorry, but I don't see how bug 4059 could be fixed. In thread
pointed by one of links user claims that his processor isn't even stable
at lower frequencies. I don't see how it is possible because most VIA
systems don't support voltage scaling. Reason I can think of is
some processors need much more then 1ms to change frequency and are
still in process of doing so when timer interrupt occurs (1000Hz timer
and "ondemand" scenario). Another possibility is that some interrupts
can't be masked even when asked to. And another one is SMI which isn't
adressed by current source at all.

Current Longhaul is much different then older one yet limiting it to
known to work northbridges didn't help. Possibly support depends on
chipset revision or system setup.
