@ WarheadsSE
Yeah. Be careful, new Titans will be acquire your position ...

Thank you very much for your Sata boot off work - it is excellent.

Hi, as of yesterday my Pogo-P24 is also working from SATA, I made a mod to include eSATA connection near the USB ports, similar to what WarheadsSE presented in the G+ gallery. I've chosen the 800MHz stage1 and now (post-factum) I'm just wondering how safe it is to OC in the long run? Maybe I will be better off with stock 700MHz clock, if so is there any method to downgrade the clock without reinstalling everything?

[WarheadsSE]

Sure, unlink everything but stage 1. disk_create will write only magic dust & stage1.

I've had no issues, except for when pushing the memory extremely hard at 850Mhz (ddr2 @ 425Mhz) 800 seems stable, and 750 is the PLX stock, whiles CE chose 700.

Great thank you very much - for now I'll probably stay with 800MHz and downgrade if I encounter any issues.

Hi,

@Firefox: Interesting coincidence to have sata boot on p24 at same time...

I also set up 800 MHZ.
How can I check cpu speed?
Dmesg says lower cpu speed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 0.260000] Calibrating local timer... 374.49MHz.
[ 0.330000] CPU1: Booted secondary processor
[ 0.430000] Calibrating delay loop... 299.82 BogoMIPS (lpj=1499136)
[ 0.640000] Brought up 2 CPUs
[ 0.650000] SMP: Total of 2 processors activated (598.83 BogoMIPS).
')

MIPS != CPU Mhz!

[Guest]

Please guide me!!

How can I see the real processor speed?

I set stage1.wrapped -> stage1/stage1.wrapped800 and run disk_create
but seems cpu only 750 Mhz:

From serial console:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Attempting to set PLLA to 750MHz ...
')

What is the problem?
