My keyboard appears to have been invaded by gremlins. That should have
been "suspiciously"...
but didn't
get an answer for, especially the second problem. This
wouldn't happen to be a Pentium III, would it?
No, it's a Pentium IV...

And that should have been "clocksource=pit". Sorry for the confusion.
for me.
Could you post a link to the discussion?
Unfortunately, only my original question appears in the mailing list.
John Stultz replied privately asking for more information and the
output of dmesg, suggested I try the -mm kernel to see if it also had
the problem, suggested the "clocksource=pit" workaround, and then sent
me a patch to try for the -mm kernel. When I reported that the patch
worked for -mm, he said he would "polish it up and send it to Andrew."
I asked if -mm could also be used with the -rt patch, since realtime
was important to me, but I didn't get a reply.
