No, only once. Is that wrong? # cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource hpet acpi_pm jiffies tsc # cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource tsc Dan.

Try lsof /dev/hpet Thanks for the ideas; however even after I made the kernel use tsc as time source, and made sure that no one opens /dev/hpet, I fail to use HPET (with same errors as before) I now have $ dmesg |grep -i hpet ACPI: HPET 7D5B6AE0, 0038 (r1 A M I OEMHPET 5000708 MSFT 97) ACPI: HPET id: 0x8086a301 base: 0xfed0 hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed0, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0 hpet0: 4 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz hpet_resources: 0xfed0 is busy Any other idea?
