If the messages:

probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a 
VIA686a motherboard.
probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.

are really related to a VIA686A bug, why do they erratically appear on 
Compaq ML370's, which use ServerWorks chip sets? Is there a common bug 
between these chip sets? Seems unlikely.

Regards,
Steve
