Thanks guys I can see how Kevin has come to his conclusion (On 10 secs And I
think I agree)!  
I will try your 2nd proposed solution, I gave it a very quick go but it did
not work.  I will give this some proper time, I think some mips_clocksource
needed to be externed etc.  (and add linux/clocksource.h ) to
pnx8550/common/time.c.
Hopefullly this will make it compile, and then I can trace the problem a bit
more.  It might be after Christmas though before I come back to this
Again cheers for the help.
Dan
