Dear experts, subject says it all: 2.4.5-ac13, ASUS A7A266 board. Jun 11 17:10:12 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard. Jun 11 17:10:12 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration. every 1-5 minutes. Definitely no VIA chips on board. Do you have any ideas - is this a false alarm? BTW, once I saw soon after boot: Jun 11 15:05:18 qubit kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7. Looking at time.c this might be related? more info on request. best regards, andreas lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.
