Does your bios have the option to enable the hpet? (Maybe after a bios=20
update?)

If not:

Try booting with noapic, compile latest git kernel and buut it (w/o noapic)=
=2E=20
Above message should now not appear, if I am not mistaken. Otherwise you ha=
ve=20
to hack the kernel to not ignoge the timer override..


But I could be mistaken...
=2D-=20
(=B0=3D                 =3D=B0)
