Sort of good and bad. Good because this helps you around the problem. But bad
because the underlying problem is something not really be solved generically in
Linux. In short the BIOS should set up the timer interrupt and tells the OS via
the timer override to which interrupt pin the timer interrupts get delivered.
This is usually a "it is 2 instead of 0". But everything breaks if that is not
true.
So this would be something to fix in BIOS or at least requires someone with
insight into the hw specifications and that is not open. You may try to check
whether there is a BIOS update for this netbook that helps, but otherwise this
workaround is the only solution I know.
