 Hello,
 
 does anyone have a hint how to enable High resolution timers on my
 system (with a Intel ICH2 (which has afaik 8254 Timers). Is this
 hardware not enough for hr-timers?
Check your BIOS settings.
If your h/w supports HPET, there should be an option in the BIOS to turn it on.

 No, there is no BIOS option which indicates HPET support. But the
 BIOS on my system is IMHO very very bad. It knows nothing about the
 features on the board. Is ist crucial to have here BIOS support? Or
 can these features be enabled by e.g. boot parameters?
Hi,
afaik, there needs to be h/w support enabled [via bios] as hpet is a hardware 
feature.
Without h/w enablement, the kernel can't do much.
