11 LOL! Well, if by "solved" you mean that I am able to use the full power
12 of my CPU, then, yes, it is solved. However, it is now completely
13 incapable of having its CPU controlled for power, so once I go on
14 batteries, I have about an hour and a half....so in that sense, no, it's
15 not solved. No, it's not solved. I am going to burn an ISO and boot one
16 of those "other" distros that shall remain nameless and see if there is
17 something strange with my Gentoo kernel madness or whether it's this
18 machine.
