-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear kernel specialists, Jun 8 03:00:39 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a. Jun 8 03:00:39 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration. can anybody please tell me what is the exact _impact_ of this problem? I get these messages on an idle machine with Asus A7A266 motherboard (not VIA) (planned nfs server) about every 2-5 minutes. Kernel 2.2.18 as shipped with SuSE 7.1 (k_default). - From code snippets I have seen, this means the clock is jumping around?!? Has anybody found a way to get rid of this problem? (Yes, I know, this has been discussed before, but I did not see any resolution). For /proc/pci see below, if you need any more info, feel free to contact me. best regards, Andreas /proc/pci: PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Acer Labs Unknown device (rev 4).
