Hello all,


some time ago I wrote about problems with the via-timer and kernel 2.4.x.

Meanwhile I tested kernel linux-2.4.19-pre7ac2 and newly pre8ac4. I couldn't 
detect any problems with the timer (sudden time jumps). Does anybody know 
the reason why? I couldn't find any patch related to this problem in the 
Changelogs.

The problem occures in pre7 - I didn't test pre8.


Regards,
Andreas Hartmann
