is not a real problem, but :
On my laptop (Thinkpad i1400/most recent BIOS) *all* is runing fine (display, sound,
internal modem (lucent), suspend/resume, auto-shutdown on power-button, X,
pccard,...), except :
with ACPI loaded:
1) internal clock drifts without "kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254" in /etc/sysctl.conf;
documented issue, not realy a problem (I think).
2) `systat -vmstat` do not work!
I receive the message
"The alternate system clock has died!
Reverting to ``pigs'' display."
also `top` and similar programs can't be able to display instantaneous cpu load ! (
reports 0% CPU all times)
without ACPI, systat & top works fine
I tested -current with GENERIC (built uesterday) and my custom kernel (GENERIC striped
nonexistent devices)

Any idea ?
Note: the 'systat' problem apears on 4.7-stable if I build a custom kernel with
"options USER_LDT"
Thanks
