Kind of. Except Linus wrote the particular section of code in question. =)

Or perhaps not in the case of my hardware functioning properly one day, and never to boot linux (but fine with everything else) again..
I need a sure fire way of testing whether the timer interrupt works, perhaps even a kernel patch to include such a check before initialising the timers. Is there a possibility of working around such problem? I would rather destroy this motherboard than sacrifice it to running inferior operating systems for the remainder of its life. =)
