I've just got a new Athlon machine with an Epox EP-7KXA motherboard.
It comes highly recommended, but I have some severe problems with the
timekeeping: it seems that the BIOS does not allow me to disable APM,
and the 8254 timekeeping goes crazy, running up to 10 times as fast as
real time. Does anybody else have one of these boards? Have you seen
the problem? (How) did you fix it?
If not, does anybody know the incantations to disable the APM during
system startup? If so, I'll play around with it myself.
I'm attaching the dmesg output in case it's of any use.
