CPU Frequency Warnings
Just installed FC3 with kernel 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 and am getting this:
Nov 17 20:54:34 localhost kernel: Warning: CPU frequency is 997000,
cpufreq assumed 731000 kHz.
It's on a Via Epia MII 10000 mini-itx motherboard with onboard CPU. Any fix for this? Found a reference from the FC2 days to report it to this address.

Something (probably the BIOS) changed the CPU speed in between initialization of the CPU and this message (did you suspend to disk / ram in between?). It's not really problematic unless you run a ntp server on this system or other time- and timing-critical applications. Also, the kernel did manage the situation then, so from this message on all things should be in order again, unless something changed the CPU speed behind the kernel's back again.

Well, I'm getting a *ton* of those warnings, though, and they seem more prevalent when there is disk activity, yeah.
So maybe I just need to check the BIOS and turn off the speed changing stuff. It's one of those mini-itx things, so it probably tries to do power management. I don't need it to do that, so it should be easy to just turn off. I'll check into that. Thanks.
