    SubjectRe: Wrong bogomips after plugging in AC power
    Hi!

    the problem is a bad configuration of the BIOS, you
    have to configure your BIOS so your cpu can have full
    power when pluged in.

    The toshiba laptops have some parameters for the cpu
    and the screen, so you can save some power when
    running on batteries.

    You can access the BIOS by pressing the esc key when
    booting or use the rescue/maintenance disk provided
    bye toshiba
