| enouf | markybob: see http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html notice the 1st paragraph about the TSC Time Stamp Counter |
| stoned | oh wait, X problems in sid.. fuck it.. i'll stick with stable on this too for now |
| markybob | enouf: will do. thanks |
| stoned | I should steal my ram back from my brother in law I gave him 512x2 sticks. now I'm only left with 256 dimm :( |
| enouf | markybob: not certain that's your issue, but i'm almost sure there's some bugs about it too .. here's my search for keywords http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=amd64+cpu+timer+driver+linux+bug&btnG=Google+Search |
| stoned | I should at least steal 512 back |
| concept10 | I should have bought Understanding the Linux kernel instead of this boring Code Breakers book and maybe I would know by now |
| markybob | enouf: sounds good. thanks |
| jpsamara | Is there a way that I can run debian in my desktop with most recent packages... without breaking everything? |
| gravity | jpsamara: You can run unstable. jpsamara: But things will break there from time to time. Definitely not everything though |
| stoned | !sid faq |
| dpkg | well, sid faq is http://wooledge.org/~greg/sidfaq.html |
| stoned | js_: read ^^ er,, jpsamara ^^ |
| abrotman | today if you have nvidia/ati .. X is broken :) |
| stoned | yeh thats why im going with stable atm this is my 5th box im installing debian on.. 5 machines in a room.. 2 more to go.. 7 total.. HEAT!!!! |
| enouf | markybob: Also , somewhat related, if you're using a xen, kvm, vmware VM type dealio, i think that we're told to disable ntp (and ntpdate maybe), there's a mixup there too with timers .. maybe these two issues are even related .. haven't looked into it much |
| action | gravity broke his own server too |
| gravity | broke his own server too |
| stoned | I gotta get an AC unit or two or there three* |
| abrotman | or only install at 3am |
| stoned | huh? |
| markybob | enouf: interesting. i do run ntp. |
| stoned | they stay on all the time.. 2 desktops, 2 laptops, rest are servers |
| abrotman | oh .. that's your fault then |

| enouf | markybob: try disabling it, and/or the daemon |
| stoned | this one is a overclocked prescott p4 from 2.4ghz to 3.2 with only 256mb ram.. I gave ram away :( should work fine as a small server of sorts though ram is cheap, DDR at least, I should order some |
