I don't see anything about SMM in my BIOS configuration even with the advanced options enabled... Turning it off at the chipset level sounds like a hardware hack - is it? The gettimeofday patch for 2.6.13-rc3 won't apply. My source tree has no ntp.h or ntp.c, and I get a malformed patch error at line 560. I'm using the patch Google found for me: http://lwn.net/Articles/143953/ on a 2.6.13-rc3 source tree.
