Description Bob Gautier 2007-05-23 05:15:06 EDT

Description of problem:

In a machine equipped with two 2.6Ghz Xeon processors, /proc/cpuinfo reports 
both processors running at 60Ghz.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp

How reproducible:

Uncertain (production machine, can't be rebooted at will)

Steps to Reproduce:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz

Actual results:

cpu MHz      : 61146.158
cpu MHz      : 61146.158

Expected results:

cpu MHz      : 2600.00 (or thereabouts)
cpu MHz      : 2600.00 (or thereabouts)

Additional info:

The machine is an IBM HS20 blade and is running fine but this is causing our 
monitoring people some concern.
