Nice conclusion, but back again, how do you conclude current time if you just use TSC ticks as the basis of determining current time? it's like x+y=z..... y here is the TSC.... so if you insist *just* using TSC, you just know y, but x and z itself is undetermined. So, do you see the importance to look for another source? that "CMOS clock" I said earlier perhaps? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
