Maybe on UP too:
May 8 18:50:25 grover kernel: [143640.507170] Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
May 8 18:50:25 grover kernel: [143640.520422] rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.
May 8 18:50:25 grover kernel: [143640.554134] Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
May 8 18:50:25 grover kernel: [143640.567693] rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.
May 8 18:50:25 grover kernel: [143640.596402] usb-storage: device scan complete
This from 12-rc3-mm3, UP x86_64 with powernow active.
It might be that the message is OK here since I do not see a fast clock. I mention this
since powernow is active here.
Should HPET be available in UP?
