Something is definitely screwy with the latest -bk. I updated from a kernel ~1 week ago, and all timer-related stuff is moving at a vastly increased rate. My guess is twice as fast. Most annoying is the system clock advances at twice normal rate, and keyboard repeat is so sensitive I am spending quite a bit of time typing this message, what with having to delettte (<== example) extra characters. Double-clicking is also broken :( dmesg and config attached. My guess would be someone broke HPET, but maybe not judging from other lkml reports. This is the _first_ 2.6 kernel that has been obviously and wildly broken for me :( Jeff
