Hi,
I've been able to run couple of successful tests installing FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x
on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 , however, I've noticed for some reason
FreeBSD is not detecting the actual CPU speed:
-------------------
FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Mon Jan 30 22:32:31 EST 2006
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/INTERNDC
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: Intel Pentium III Xeon (593.19-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6a4 Stepping = 4

real memory = 824115200 (785 MB)
avail memory = 796700672 (759 MB)

acpi0: <A M I OEMRSDT> on motherboard
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000
------------
The frequency should be 900MHz. The BIOS does not state CPU frequency, nor the
boot sequence.
In fact, if I reboot the FreeBSD virtual machine, the frequency would be
different (sometimes 460MHz , others 550MHz...etc). I think this is causing a
considerable degradation in the FreeBSD speed.
Any suggestions in this regard ? MSFT doesn't officially support FreeBSD, but
I'm aware they support Linux on their virtual server.
Thanks,
Tamouh Hakmi
