Description Sebastien Koechlin 2007-08-17 04:36:44 UTC 
In include/asm-i386/hpet.h:

     31 /*
     32  * Documentation on HPET can be found at:
     33  *      http://www.intel.com/ial/home/sp/pcmmspec.htm
     34  *      ftp://download.intel.com/ial/home/sp/mmts098.pdf
     35  */
 
 on line 33 and 34 URLs are broken.

New valid URLs are probably:
http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm and http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf

Comment 2 Thomas Gleixner 2007-09-10 03:14:45 UTC 
I'm inclined to drop the URL completely and just refer to the intel web page. The half-life time of such URLs tends to be quite small.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Fixed in Linus' tree (URLs removed).
