In summary, that fix is a workaround to allow the acpi_pm clocksource to be selected instead of the pit clocksource, thereby allowing my Dell laptop with the PIIX4 bug to boot. Other apic, clocksource, etc. patches that were included in -rc5 fixed the problem that caused the boot process to hang when the pit clocksource was selected, as I suspected would be the case :-). Per John's message in the above URL, while the fix is no longer needed for allowing the laptop to boot, it's probably still "a good thing" to allow a better clocksource to be selected. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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/ | ||||||||||||
