At the moment the test is too sensitive - its harmless when it triggers in

This particular motherboard is an ASUS CUV4X-DLS, the chipset is a
VIA694XDP, the IDE chipset however is a VIA686b.

I've seen this in all the kernels I've tried with the "ac" patches.

Any kernel I've tried that are NOT SMP work fine.

Re: Linux 2.4.3-ac9

Alan,

This does not seem to fix the problem with "clock timer", which
repeatedly prints the following message:

probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard.
probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.

The machine does not get any further than printing the above message.
This message only appears with an SMP kernel, there are no ide devices
in the machine.

a generic 2.4.3 kernel works on the machine.

Thanks.

Alan,

This does not seem to fix the problem with "clock timer", which
repeatedly prints the following message:

probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard.
probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.

The machine does not get any further than printing the above message.
This message only appears with an SMP kernel, there are no ide devices
in the machine.

a generic 2.4.3 kernel works on the machine.

Thanks.

I've seen this on my Dell P3 700 machine several times. Seems to happen at odd

I'd like to point out that I've never seen this on my VIA686a itself. The P3
