So maybe others can use this and help us understand later the "why" of it. Well, timing (clock and event) is possibly even more critical for smp architecture than for single cpu systems. Trying to run k7-smp- systems with originally 1981 based timers ("pit") as clocksource seems to be st

I can live single processor for a while. So yes reduction of severity is okay for me. But, I'm thinking that there are a number of k7-smp servers that are the truck horses of various clusters (esp. universities and small research groups) who mayn't tolerate the loss of utility. matthew
