[2.5.50] uninitialized timer

[Jochen Hein <jochen@jochen.org>]

Booting 2.2.50 gives:

vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xc680d000, size 1984k
vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=0
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:8e10
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: directcolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0
Uninitialised timer!
This is just a warning.  Your computer is OK

Passed through ksymoops I get:

ksymoops 2.4.6 on i686 2.5.50.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.5.50/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.5.50 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed

Hope that helps.
