But when I have HPET enabled in the kernel I get a sysfs entry and consequently a /dev/hpet entry. Should the HPET device be created if I don't have the hardware? My expectation was that the sysfs entry should not have been created. Is there a simple way to check if a box has a HPET timer? -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
