>Environment:

generic ide system with "CPU: Cyrix 6x86 (486-class CPU)"

>Description:

the system clock runs extremely slowly.  (and sio silo overflows occur)

>How-To-Repeat:

A) enable power management in the bios
B) put "device apm0 at isa? disable flags 0x31" in the kernel config file

perhaps only one of the above is needed to reproduce the problem???

>Fix:

1) disable power management in the bios
2) remove apm from the kernel

perhaps only one of the above is needed to remove the problem???

items #1 and #2 were tested together and not separately
