On a new Dell Precision 380 box running 6.05-BETA5, I've seen random freezes (apparently not related to specific activities running on the machine, which has web and mail servers and also runs an X server) a few days apart. On the last two instances, the last message recorded in the logs was the same: Nov 21 02:11:22 melamine kernel: rtc: 1000 > kern.hz: Timing will be inaccurate, please increase hz. and this messages does not occur at any other time, so I suspect it's related to the freezes I saw. I might have been running mplayer shortly before the freeze. Could this be related to PR 71536? (i.e. could the rtc bug cause a freeze, and not only an annoying console message?) Thomas.
