Yeap, that's the bug, but it's not Linux's fault at all! It also happens with my Winblows machines.
Linux at least TRIES to do something about it. Windows doesn't. Reading the timer.h and timer.c comments in the kernel code is most informative. It not only describes the nature of the problem but tells you how Winbond and ALiMagic & VIA don't seem to be interested in fixing this. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Sevatio |Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 3:20 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] gigabyte GA-7ZXH | | |I have two machines with the GA-7ZX-1 mobo.
