Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1000 Lines: 27 I've just started running pre3, and after a few minutes the above message started to appear. I can see it is coming from i386/kernel/timer.c, but beyond that I'm out of my depth, so I'll just report it for my betters. I remember that in earlier versions of 2.4 there was a sporadic timer message, along the lines of "probably via" (?) which also affected this box. The CPU is a K6-2, on a Jetway 542C mobo. lspci shows an Ali M1541 (rev 04) host bridge and PCI bridge, with an Ali M1533 (rev c3) PCI to ISA bridge and a M5229 IDE i/f (rev c2). Compiler was gcc-2.95.3. Any more information anybody would like ? Ken -- Out of the darkness a voice spake unto me, saying "smile, things could be worse". So I smiled, and lo, things became worse. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
