SubjectRe: X86_64: Many Lost ticks
Date
Andi / Zwane
Ignore my earlier mail about the DMA timeouts and NMI errors after applying
the ACPI timer override patch. My bad. I forgot to recompile the modules
after I applied your patch - and I believe thats what caused those errors.
I recompiled and reinstalled the modules this time and no errors [well, apart
from those lost ticks, which anyway is a separate issue] with the ACPI Timer
override for NVIDIA chipset.

Alan - Needless to say you should keep Andi's NVIDIA ACPI Timer override patch
in -ac. It works.

Sorry for the confusion!
