Dear experts,

subject says it all: 2.4.5-ac13, ASUS A7A266 board.

Jun 11 17:10:12 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer
configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard.
Jun 11 17:10:12 qubit kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip
configuration.

every 1-5 minutes. Definitely no VIA chips on board. Do you have any
ideas - is this a false alarm? BTW, once I saw soon after boot:

Jun 11 15:05:18 qubit kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

Looking at time.c this might be related?

more info on request.
best regards, andreas
