Your attitude is unproductive; a) the acpi(4) manpage tells you how to turn off the ACPI timecounter, and b) once I get some time to work on it, the timecounter will probably be fixed to deal (one way or another) with your board. I am assuming you're using an ALi chipset of some sort? Your bugreport dosn't seem to indicate that. If all you're having trouble with is the timecounter, turn it off. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
