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
Maxtor 20 GB IDE HDD UDMA 100

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

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.
