But I silently ignore these messages - touchpad works ok. I use an USB mouse, but messages appear even without it plugged. "Losing too many ticks" exists when I'm running with cpufreq [p4_clockmod] and clock=tsc (default). This is because of rescaling TSC pitch by cpufreq, I think. If I specify in bootloader clock=hpet, problem disappears. [Am I doing right?] I can provide more information if somebody is interested.
