Hi there
I've got a small problem. Just installed kernel-2.4.9-ac12 on 5 identical boxes. They all use Asus A7A266 motherboards, with Tbirds running at 1.2 GHz. A lspci gives:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi]: Unknown device 1647 (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5247 00:02.0 USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 03) 00:04.0 IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5229 IDE (rev c4) 00:06.0 USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV] 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 10) 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) 00:11.0 Bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M7101 PMU 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Vanta [NV6] (rev 15)
The problem: especially when copying from a disk to another one (I have cloned /dev/hda to /dev/hdc, testing both dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc and cp -a /dev/hdaN /devc/hdcN) a get _a_lot_ of messages like this one:
probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard. probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.
Is it dangerous ? Any way to get rid of this phenomemon (maintaining the hardware...)?
