When ever I try and start a guest OS with kvm I get a lot of these rtc missing interupt messages from the kernel

I don't have the dynamic ticker set or some of the other high resolution timer things set # CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT is not set # CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set # CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not set I do have the rtc group selected as modules though CONFIG_RTC=m CONFIG_GEN_RTC=m CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X=y ... # # Real Time Clock # CONFIG_RTC_LIB=m CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=m # # RTC interfaces # CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=m CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=m CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=m CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL=y # # RTC drivers # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_X1205=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1307=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1553=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_ISL1208=m ... and the rest of the drivers as modules I have the latest kvm-16 and here's how I'm starting the guest OS. KVER="2.6.9-42.EL" INITRD_BASE="initrd" INITRD_APPEND=".img" APPEND="ro root=LABEL=/ 3 console=ttyS0" DEV=hda kvm -kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-${KVER}" \ -initrd "/boot/${INITRD_BASE}-${KVER}${INITRD_APPEND}" \ -append "${APPEND}" \ -nographic -m 256 \ -net nic,vlan0 \ -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap1,script=no \ /dev/hda Anymore information can be easily provided.
