I am still unable to get rid of these on my 5.2 installation running on AMD K6-2 450 MHz hardware. FBSD 4.9 ran just fine on this box with nary a hiccup. I am ruling out faulty hardware as the culprit as I test loaded 4.9 back on the system yesterday and saw not a one of the above messages. The scant information I find on this message relates to FBSD 4.X and below, I believe. There, you can run sysctl kern.timecounter.method=1 (up from a default value of 0) to get rid of them. In my case, it was unnecessary to do this as the messages were nonexistent. The kernel has obviously changed in v 5.X and this timecounter parameter is not available. There are other microtime variables, though, but I am completely at a loss to know which if any to tweak. Other than these messages filling up the logs, the machine appears stable but I have not tested it fully by any means. They are, however, a pain in the neck when doing anything from the console. Please help if you can. I am not the only one with this problem, I wonder if others have given up and gone back to versions 4.X... Thank you all, Roy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
