 |
|
I compile the ipw2200 module from portage instead of from kernel, because the code in kernel never works.
however, everytime i load the ipw2200 module, the dmesg give me the following message:
| Code: |
Losing too many ticks!
TSC cannot be used as a timesource.
Possible reasons for this are:
You're running with Speedstep,
You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.
|
I tried to use PM timer, but that make my system very very slow....
Anybody any idea?
thx.

does hdparm show your drives as having dma on?
I've only seen this error when running gentoo under qemu, where I do NOT have dma on the drive (cuz it can't (: ) |

I have same message here
message is saying that possible reason : and one of them is that I am using speedstep. so I think that something with timer is not good if you are using speedstep

Have you tried with enabling "Power Management Timer Support" in the kernel?
Power management options (ACPI, APM) ---> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
/edit: Ack. I just realized that the author had already tried "pm timer".. sorry for suggesting it!
