linuxbios can't identify celeron 850MHz

[James Alton]

Zhu,
It seems that your 850mhz celeron chip should be running at a 100Mhz bus
(8.5x clock multiplier. 8.5*100mhz = 850Mhz) instead, you are feeding it
66Mhz. (8.5*66 = 560Mhz) You can fix this by talking to your clock chip
and telling it to change the clock speed. (Which involves finding your
clock chip on the motherboard, looking up to see if there's already code
for it, or if you have to hack out code yourself using spec sheets. lots
of fun.)
