never seen this before. I run 2.2.19pre3 on a BP6. No OC, no vmware. just the kernel wilt lm-sensors stuff patched in. I found that the kernel was somewhat sluggish now and then, and this morning, this popped up in the logs : Dec 24 02:05:05 grobbebol kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a. Dec 24 02:05:05 grobbebol kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration. which is weird I guess. -- Grobbebol's Home | Don't give in to spammers. -o) http://www.xs4all.nl/~bengel | Use your real e-mail address /\ Linux 2.2.16 SMP 2x466MHz / 256 MB | on Usenet. _\_v - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
