The software clock of course is totally messed up. I've scanned google for a solution and see others complaining about bad code in the SMM BIOS. I have the latest bios and whatever they need to fix - isn't. So - what do I do to make it work? Yes - I compiled the kernel 2.6.13.1 and used a speed of 100 - the lowest setting - and that did help some. But - the problem needs to go away. If I compile a kermel without any of the power management at all - will that fix the problem? I need a work around.
