cham can't detect i5 "fsb"
« on: October 11, 2009, 04:27:03 PM »
hello, in i386/libsaio/freq_detect.c, line 185 a model check must be added for "0x1e" in order for i5 to find correct "fsb"

Patch enables vanilla 10.6.2 kernel to run on Lynnfield without a hitch. Hope it makes it into the next public build. Thanks.
