[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm getting the message in the subject when I run systat -vm on a lightly loaded server. Top shows interesting CPU usage %: CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Some Googling tells me that a fix for this went in around 1998 in sys/i386/isa/clock.c, see http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/159/1998/7/0/777198/ (fix verified to be present in RELENG_4_8 which is what the machine is running). Since I'm the only one with this problem I'm assuming some hardware clock has died, but now I'm trying to find out which one exactly. Could this have to do with the battery-backed CMOS clock? If so how can I know for sure that that isn't working right? More information available on request. --Stijn -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in." -- Kim Alm, alt.sysadmin.recovery [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+/C/oY3r/tLQmfWcRAjfVAJ9LzaCtuYet6RpBeekOt8JRPgVK1ACeKXDj nqDdc2dRESkROrw9MYPq29w= =jZFN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
