Subject: clock timer configuration lost on a ServerWorks Chipset

Hi,

We have a Dell PE2500 with 2 1.13Ghz processors and 2GB of ram and highmem
enabled.
We are currently running Red Hat Linux 7.1 with a kernel compiled from
kernel-source-2.4.9-12SGI_XFS_PR1
Which is the Red Hat Update kernel patched with XFS.

Nov 28 14:03:51 coltex-2 kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer
configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard.
Nov 28 14:03:51 coltex-2 kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip
configuration.

These messages seem a bit odd. The PowerEdge 2500 has a Serverworks chipset
so what is producing these
errors? They appear about once or twice a day.

I am not subscribed to the list.

00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE (rev 23)
Flags: fast devsel

00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE (rev 01)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32

00:00.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0006 (rev 01)
Flags: medium devsel

00:00.3 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0006 (rev 01)
Flags: medium devsel


Cheers

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.

Ignore them. They can be triggered by other things. The workaround they
do is harmless however.
