I posted using PAN and I am trying to respond with PAM but todays posts
and some of yesterdays are not showing up. I do not know what the
problem is but I apologize for responding this way. Here is my dmesg
output:

Losing too many ticks!
TSC cannot be used as a timesource.  <4>Possible reasons for this are:
  You're running with Speedstep,
  You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
  Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.
