Hi, I have a Dell XPS M1210 notebook with 2.6.18 running on it.
I've noticed that a recent BIOS upgrade (A03 -> A05) has started giving me this message on system boot when hwclock runs. select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out My machine has a dual-core Intel processor. A quick search revealed a workaround for hwclock to use the --directisa option. Also this bug seems to be generic to dual-core Intel processors as many other people also are facing the same issue on servers/desktops/laptops.
