Hello there;

I setup a system with -Current and an AMD-K6 3D processor.
I noticed that the clock was running (about twice the speed of time :-)

I used sysctl to change kern.timecounter.hardware from ACPI to i8254 and now
all is well.

Even the
kernel: microuptime() went backwards (2855.058761 -> 2850.689019)
messages are gone.

Questions:
Is there a variable on the kernel to force kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 ?
What is going on ?

thanks
