Hi! glad the kernel is running stable. Do you have any cpu frequency scaling driver running?

I have a a machine running with these specs
Code:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Max Speed: 3060 MHz
Current Speed of Core 0:2399 MHz

Frequency governor   : performance
Freq. scaling driver : p4-clockmod


this is an older machine but Puppy Linux is set at default with an on-demand driver. Maybe you may have the some type of cpu scaling program?

Hi rockedge.

Here's mine:
Code:
PC Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: To be filled by O.E.M.

Motherboard Vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: F2A88XM-DS2

BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: F7
Release Date: 06/24/2014

AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
Max Speed: 3900 MHz
Current Speed of Core 0:1800 MHz, 1:3100 MHz
Core Count: 2
Thread Count: 2

Frequency governor   : ondemand
Freq. scaling driver : acpi-cpufreq

Seems like Frequency governor needs to be changed/optimized, but how to do? Is this to setup in Puppy or in BIOS?

On my old machine (unfortunately broken) I hadn't any problems like that, but it was Intel Core Duo CPU.

Ok, I have had a look into the BIOS. Set everything found on CPU to auto and deactivated the cool&quiet function. Set all the fans to full speed also.

Now it looks like that:
Code:
PC Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: To be filled by O.E.M.

Motherboard Vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: F2A88XM-DS2

BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: F7
Release Date: 06/24/2014

AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
Max Speed: 3900 MHz
Current Speed of Core 0:4092 MHz, 1:4092 MHz
Core Count: 2
Thread Count: 2

temp1 (radeon) : +68.0 C (high = +NA.0 C, crit = +120.0 C)
temp1 (k10temp) : +51.0 C (high = +70.0 C, crit = +80.0 C)
temp1 (it8620) : +41.0 C (high = +127.0 C, crit = +NA.0 C)
temp3 (it8620) : +64.0 C (high = +127.0 C, crit = +NA.0 C)
temp4 (it8620) : +45.0 C (high = +NA.0 C, crit = +NA.0 C)
temp5 (it8620) : +45.0 C (high = +NA.0 C, crit = +NA.0 C)
temp6 (it8620) : +45.0 C (high = +NA.0 C, crit = +NA.0 C)

Personal Storage: RAM Disk
 4,3G    181M    4,1G    5%

Memory Allocation:
 Total RAM: 3976 MB
 Used RAM: 999 MB
 Free RAM: 2977 MB
 Buffers: 10 MB
 Total Swap: 9039 MB
 Free Swap: 9039 MB

Linux Kernel: 4.14.63-rt37 (i686)
Kernel Version: #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 7 03:11:51 EDT 2018
PAE Enabled: Yes

Distro: Art Studio 1.0.0
Desktop Panel: lxpanel 0.6.1
Window Manager: Openbox 3.5.2
Desktop Start: xwin openbox

Frequency governor seems to be gone and both cores are now running at equal frequency.

Just hope this will do it...

After doing some tests I found all the Xruns seems to be gone now. So I stuck with that BIOS settings running the real time kernel constantly in my Art Studio.

Thanks again for the real time kernel! Smile

Hello! That sounds great! glad it is working and you found some good settings.

There is the Menu->System->CPU Frequency Scaling Tool
that will allow one to change the cpu frequency scaling driver on-the-fly.

But since it is going well with your current settings leave it that way.

Pity.

I still have a few Xrun messages from time to time, though they seemed decreasing after changing those BIOS settings.

Now there's another different issue...

Out of 8 plugins tested, 5 complained about the real time kernel and producing only distorted noise (e.g. multi band chorus) if used.

So I had to drop the real time kernel unfortunately, since I don't want (and I'm not able) to compile all those plugins available.

Sad
