Looks like a bunch of people have had this problem. Looks like it has
something to do with ASUS motherboards.

As one person did, you just comment out the printk and recompile the kernel=
,
but I don't find that to be a true solution.

Hmmm, looks like you can thank Alan Cox for this.

:)

Wonder if he really posted that in 2005? If so, we should expect to see lot=
s
of fixes as they backport stuff from the future :).

Hmm, looks like the fix is actually from Jim-something.

BTW, Carl, that page doesn't render very well. The large ads on the right
eat into the message from Alan.

Looks like the 8253 problem is known, so you probably have to wait for a
fix. It looks like it causes problems for time-tracking, so see the battery
thread from earlier today about install ntpd or ntpdate.
