hey all,

the 2.6 kernels have been loosing time on my box, and i just noticed this
message at the very bottom of dmesg that i think may relate:

Loosing too many ticks!
TSC cannot be used as a timesource. (Are you running with SpeedStep?)
Falling back to a sane timesource.

i'm running test-3 right now, but i've been seeing the same problem back into
the 2.5 kernels.  any ideas?  it's a dual PIII coppermine, relatively close
to default slackware 9, i'll attach the config in case that helps.  thanks in
advance!
