WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:404 hpet_next_event+0x7d/0x90()

[Thomas Backlund]

This is still happening on 2.6.33-rc6-git1 running x86_64 kernel

HW is a Core i7-860 on an ASUS P7P55D Deluxe m/b

I've seen this since atleast 2.6.31 series kernels...

I seem to have seen other reports about this, and some errata fix & 
patch for this, but I cant find it right now...

Hi Venki,

Since this issue is the same as reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125769096017449&w=2
[2.6.31.4: WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:390]

and you stated here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125849385330302&w=2

that you didn't have a ETA for the errata to be published...

Now, it's about 2.5 months later, and the warning is still there,
so... Is there any updates to this, or should I just silence the
warning with the patch you posted for test...
