Hi,

does anyone know what this message on console boot means:

*** no timer interrupts on CPU 0 ***

This message appeared on several 433au, 600au, pciaxp33 we have here.
Sometimes the message just disappears after a while, but we also had
whole motherboards replaced by digital-service to fix this.

Since it's always a hassle to make up a call and to have a motherboard replaced
I would like to know what this message means and how I could get around with
it. We have had systems which had this message and which suddenly crashed
without leaving a dump anywhere, so I don't think it's ignorable.

Just drop me a suggestion, I'll summarize.

        Peter
