rebooted with a reconfigured kernel to assure it's not cpufreq. same behaviour without cpufreq. btw, I'm not 100% sure anymore now running 2.4 whether I really heard the same noise just quiet. hard to differentiate and also doesn't matter from my view as it doesn't annoy like the 2.5 noise effect. --> if it's the same noise, it would be ok, as you don't hear it normally sitting in front of the box, but running 2.5 is not nice with that high-pitched tone. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
