I have a (fast) Intel Pentium M 2.0Ghz system, that runs well when overclocked to a 115mhz FSB, (2.3Ghz). well, runs well in windows. The frequency monitors and performance tests that I have run all show it runs happily at its overclocked speed, and it has spent many 20+ hr sessions of World of Warcraft at that speed.
I have now installed FC5, (without changing any BIOS settings). Its all patched up to whatever 2.6.17 kernel is there... and I can't seem to find a way to get it to properly throttle up to 2.3Ghz. It appears that the kernel throttles the processor down (like a notebook), and when it tries to throttle it back up, it only gets to 2.0Ghz, like the processor number says.
Does anyone have any information/experiance with Speedstep, Centrino, and overclocking with FC5?
