Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kvm

When running a virtual machine with KVM /var/log/syslog continually
reports the following

Dec 28 16:45:29 zardoz kernel: [  619.115783] printk: 249 messages suppressed.
Dec 28 16:45:29 zardoz kernel: [  619.115788] rtc: lost some interrupts at 
1024Hz.

Guests OSes often run slow and/or pause.

FWIW:
# uname -a
Linux zardoz 2.6.22-14-server #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:52:24 UTC 2007 x86_64 
GNU/Linux


According to 
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/FAQ#head-ba9cf8ea65a0023b2cba804f14b013ff556f9b3f
 this bug can easily be fixed.

"Try setting CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y in your host .config."

I have done this with success, however it means that I must use a custom
kernel, which is problematic in itself.

Could CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC be included in the the standard kernel, or
could a KVM version of the kernel be distributed (as with Xen).

This is a great frustration of not just mine, but many users. It would
be great to see the KVM promised totally fulfilled. :)

All the best,

Raphael Kraus
