HZ to MHZ, 2.4.2 kernel

I remember someone having a problem with the kernel using hz and
expecting MHZ or the other way around and it seems I'm running into this
problem right now.   Are there any patches or anything that address this
issue with regards to the 8260 serial and also the time.c code? This is
in HHL 2.0, 2.4.2 kernel
Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies about the bd_info struct and the hz and mhz problem
i was having.

I got linux booting and running great on Friday, and everything seems to work
wonderfully. My problem was that linux (2.4.2) was expecting all clock freqs
in hz and ppcboot was giving them all in mhz.. i should've seem this way
sooner, but hey-at least it works now :)  After i changed that the timer code
started working correctly, and then I was able to take out the hacks I had in
the SMC serial code that had gotten the serial port to work. With the serial
code back to normal, I finally got output in user space and everything worked.
Yay!
Couldnt have done it w/o you guys either, thanks again

I wish they were all this easy :-).

By the way, I pushed a bunch of new stuff for 8260 into the
linuxppc_2_4_devel tree last night.

Is there a ChangeLog anywhere that would describe the changes that went in?
Or perhaps I need to "use-the-source-luke" 8-)
