Thanks a lot for your reponses and sorry for my delay,
I just had been busy trying to understand all your information. Indeed, the
version of the BIOS firmware, according to the data provided in HP website,
is completely updated (Nov, 22th, 2005).
The discussion in bugzilla is a little tricky for me so I'm not an expert in
computer science.
I also tried to enter the kernel option acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP
and It doesn't run.
I'll be very glad for further comments ? Do you need more data ?
Thanks again,
David Gasa i Castell

Take a look at this. This bug has been around awhile but a fix is out.
I'm asuming that this is an ATI chipset. Would definetly try a bios
update if one is out for your laptop.

After all, I detected an acceleration of the laptop clock, so it
counts two seconds per one.
What can I do to fix this ?
Thanks in advance.
If it has an ati chipset (I suspect it does since I think the nx
6150 does), then try adding this to the kernel command line:
acpi_os_name=Microsoft Windows XP
According to what I have read the BIOS on almost all ATI based
boards has incomplete ACPI implementation and does a crap job on
anything that isn't claiming to be windows.
If that doesn't do it, then maybe you need to pass an option to
set which timer pin to use and/or ignore, but I don't remember
which ones off hand.

Ian I had clock problems on my HP Pavilion zv6004EA until I upgraded
Ian the firmware (used Windows to do it, g!) but since then it
Ian has been well behaved.
Ian Could I suggest a quick look at the HP web site.
