Yes! With a vanilla 2.6.10, the noapic solve the problem and ntpd is happy. > Jean-Christian: Since it ACPI is involved, have you verified that you're > running the current BIOS for your system? More fun now: it look like the BIOS actually used on this mainboard is not designed for it, but for an other board!!! The board is exactly this one "K7N2 Delta-L": http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=436&kind=1 And according to MSI it must use a BIOS version 5.9. But when I enter into the BIOS setup the version info say "W6570MS V7.4 081203". Here is the BIOS version history: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=436&kind=1 The version 7.4 dated 2003-8-12 has a special note: 1. Only for K7N2 Delta-ILSR 2. This BIOS cannot be used on K7N2 Delta-L Crasy. I use this board without any issue since around two years and only found the first problem when upgrading to the kernel 2.6.14! At least the situation is more clear now. -- Jean-Christian de Rivaz - 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/
