:This has been asked on just about every FreeBSD list since the printf was
:added. Use the archives, man! :)

:This is when you have a device generating too much interrupt latency --
:enough to stall the RTC. Usually the offender is video cards, but in this
:case it could be your IDE controller.
This is on a SCSI machine, but I get your drift.
:The usual fix is to try changing timecounters; sysctl
:kern.timecounter.hardware tells you what you're currently using. If
:you're on CURRENT, it's probably using ACPI. If you want to override it
:back to TSC, put 'hint.acpi_timer.0.disabled="1"' in your
:/boot/device.hints. Also try compiling with or without apm since this
:influences the timecounter as well (although if you're on SMP you might be
:stuck with the i8254).

:phk can clarify. :)

I would prefer that it figure out the correct time counter itself
rather then plague us with fraggin microuptime messages for the last N
years :-(
