After init 1, I found my system clock only passed 31 min for an hour.

I don't have a suitable laptop to test this, I'm afraid, but this smells
to me like a problem with SpeedStep. Do you have it turned on?

James.

I think I did not turn the speedstep on, the result of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and 'cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling' give

cat /proc/cpuinfo
