Kernel Error Message

[Andreas Neidhardt]

Hello from Germany,

I have trouble with a 2.2.18 kernel on a Gigabyte GA 5AX Rev. 5.2
Mainboard.
I have a lot of entrys in /var/log/messages like this:

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

The Mainboard has definitely not a VIA686a. It is a Acer M1541 and M1543
Chipset ( Aladin V) with a Intel Pentium 200 MMX CPU.

My Linux Computer:

GA 5AX Rev. 5.2
128 MB SDRAM
Matrox Mystique PCI 2 MB Graphics Adapter
3Com Fast EtherLink XL 3C905B-COMBO NIC

TEKRAM SCSI II Controller DC 390 (no SCSI Devices connected)

Re: Kernel Error Message

I am getting the same message with kernel 2.2.19 on a Vaio 505VE. (Celeron
333 with 128 megs of memory.)  I usually see the message when copying
large quantites from the PCMCIA CD-ROM to the hard drive.

Hello,
We have a new x-series 360 IBM e-server with 4 xeon processors.  We got
some errors that suggested we send mail to this address.  I am hoping
you can provide some useful feedback.  Please let me know if you need
more information.

Please get the Red Hat errata kernel. One of the things it fixed might
be causing this.
