--hYooF8G/hrfVAmum Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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% id= le 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 runn= ing). Since I'm the only one with this problem I'm assuming some hardware clock h= as 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 --=20 "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in." -- Kim Alm, alt.sysadmin.recovery --hYooF8G/hrfVAmum Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+/C/oY3r/tLQmfWcRAjfVAJ9LzaCtuYet6RpBeekOt8JRPgVK1ACeKXDj nqDdc2dRESkROrw9MYPq29w= =jZFN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hYooF8G/hrfVAmum--
