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!
