Hello, attached a little module I hacked. This module calculates the bus, cpu and the L2 frequency of a G3 based system. I tested it on a pm8600 G3/500 and a wallstreet I. We can discuss about the need of such a module, yes. Possibly useless except for me. I did it to learn a bit module programming and asm. Also I was annoyed that my wallstreet reports 100MHz bus frequency from OF. It would be great if I could get some feedback regarding functionality and other issues. PLEASE keep in mind, TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK. It should be safe now, but you never know. make, make install (as root) insmod clock_cpu_mod sync (just to be on the safe side) cat /proc/cpu_clock [root@pm8600 clock]# cat /proc/cpu_clock CPU clock: detecting CPU clock PPC 740/750 Bus frequency : 49997936 Hz CPU frequency : 499979360 Hz L2 frequency : 249989680 Hz cpu-rev: 3.2 COP Clock: End of Test That's it. TIA, Andreas P.S, thanks goes once again to benh.
