Hi,
Ever since I upgraded from 2.4.20 to the 2.6 tree, I've had a problem with real-time clock slippage and hard hangs on my Athlon XP 2500+ (1830MHz according to /proc/cpuinfo). I've kept an eye on the list and have applied new patches as the problem seems to be known about, but as the problem's still there with 2.6.2 I thought it was about time I reared my ugly head.
At or shortly after boot time, I get the "Losing too many ticks!" message (this seems to be related to how hard the system is working -- if it runs an fsck, the message appears immediately). Then, while the system is running, the real-time clock will lose time: the more jobs use the CPU, the more time I lose. Occasionally, the system will oops or hard-hang altogether (which could be an unrelated driver issue; it is pretty unusual).
I'm willing to test any patches you clever folk want to throw at me, or alternatively if there's an easy solution I'll try anything.
Please cc: me on any replies, as my phone line is made of wet string and would never cope with being subscribed!
Thanks for any help - Ian
