I am running the linuxconsole.sf.net multiconsole extension, I patched the Fedora Core 3 original and the second errata kernel with it and made a custom RPM. $ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.9-1.667 kernel-2.6.9-1.667ruby.root kernel-2.6.9-1.681ruby_FC3.root $ uname -a Linux wl-193.226.227-37-szolnok.dunaweb.hu 2.6.9-1.681ruby_FC3.root #1 Wed Nov 24 20:26:05 CET 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I used my machine this way with my old FC1 installation, I had linux-2.6.8.1 with the above mentioned patch before I reinstalled my machine with FC3. It definitely didn't show this error. It was a 32-bit system, now I have a 64-bit system installed. I had VMWare installed then and also now. My Realtek 8169 ethernet's (soldered on the mainboard) driver also filled my log up since it isn't connected to anywhere: r8169: eth1: PHY reset until link up But what I haven't seen in my logs at that time is this: Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed. and warning: many lost ticks. Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts rip rtl8169_phy_timer+0x1b2/0x1ba [r8169] Could it be the cause? I will test whether it helps if I disable it at boot time. The mainboard is an MSI K8T Neo FIS2R, all other peripherals you can find in dmesg and lspci outputs. Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi
