| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | There's aproblem with amd64 SMP kernel, if CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER is not |
| 3 | set. then the timer sometimes goes crazy and a single keypress causes |
| 4 | multiple characters. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6104 |
| 5 | So I'd like to propose that in the amd64 installation hanbook part 1 |
| 6 | chapter 7c (manual kernel configuration) a line should be added, wich says: |
| 7 | If you're building a SMP kernel be sure that CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER is enabled. |
| 8 | or something similar. |
| 9 | with best regards |
