Thanks from me too. |

Lots of good ideas in this thread. I'm glad the thread was there already |
| 70 |
when I ran into exactly the same thing. |
| 71 |
I can't even take refuge in claiming to be a n00b -- I've run gentoo on my |
| 72 |
main machine since somewhere |
| 73 |
around 2002, when I finished grad school and bought it for myself as a |
| 74 |
present. (two dual-core Xeons, 2GB DDR ECC, |
| 75 |
built from parts as suggested as the machine of the year (or something like |
| 76 |
that) by Linux Journal). |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
I wound up with Gentoo because slower-release distros did not have kernels |
| 79 |
that knew how to configure such a |
| 80 |
machine -- I never figured out if it was the Xeon stuff or just SMP. |
| 81 |
Anyway, an up-to-date kernel avoided it |
| 82 |
triggering clock slowdowns. Nothing like having a state-of-the-art machine |
| 83 |
that persists in running at 10%. |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
I do try to get elogs by email, but its flakey for some reason. But some of |
| 86 |
those other steps mentioned above I've never |
| 87 |
heard of before. Time for a little studying (sigh). |
