Hello all,
When I boot my system I get a timecounter error (/kernel: Timecounter
"i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz) right when it starts to boot. I have an AMD
K6-II 200Mzh processor on an Intel board (think it's a shuttle but not
sure). It's and AT board with a 250 Watt power supply and only has an ISA
modem (56k not sure of the brand), LinkSys ISA PnP combo NIC card and an ISA
1 meg video card. Everything works and the system and I don't appear to be
having any problems, but this error concerns me. I've installed FreeBSD on
this system before with the same hardware only changed the Case and a Hard
drive (updated from a 500 Meg to a 4.3 Gig), and never had this error
before. Any Ideas on what could be causing this.
Here's what is the boot section from the message log.
