Hi,
As this doesn't seem to do anything, I'm not too concerned.
However, I'm getting messages like these in my kernlog
quite regularly.

clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a.

Actually it's a via 686B I believe. It's an Abit vp6 dual
PIII board flashed to the latest bios revision from Abit.
The odd thing is that it only occurs when copying files
from my cd-rom drive to harddisk. The destination harddisk
is SCSI and the cd-rom is on its own IDE channel. It does
not occur otherwise.
Just out of curiosity, if this was a hardware bug, wouldn't
they have fixed it with the 686B chipset?
Regards,
Shane
