Re: Timekeeping hosed by factor 3, high lapic[01] interrupt rates

John et al,

# Well, that's certainly weird.  I got those types of numbers (~40 secs) when I 
# was using the broken patch.  Without any patches at all, my adjustments were 
# -100 seconds, not +40.  There probably should be at least some difference 
# between unpatched and patched.  For the sake of my sanity, can you please 
# build a GENERIC kernel from scratch without any patches and capture the above 
# output

404. There's only a lapic_timer.patch dated 14-Jan-2005 20:29...
Please don't lose your sanity :-)
