I'm seeing the same error as reported by Sami Farin earlier today [1], but from my logs I can see that the issue is intermittent (2/3 failures). The logs indicate that the issue was introduced with 2.6.22 as TSC sync was correct for all boots with 2.6.21-6.
My system is also Pentium D: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz Cheers, Frans Pop [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/16/34 Jul 12 10:54:37 faramir kernel: Linux version 2.6.21-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.21-6) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070629 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-13)) #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 21:39:38 UTC 2007 Jul 12 10:54:37 faramir kernel: checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
