Re: Lost Ticks

I have the exact same problem on a ASUS A8N-SLI Premium board and Athlon64 4800+ X2 with every BIOS up to 1008-01. Running with notsc is the only way to get it to work.

As an aside BIOS version 1008-003 is available for this board however this one seems to be WAY worse as the board won't even boot. It gets panics before the boot messages unless you boot with noapic and after that it gets checksum errors on the RSDP. I'm afraid to see what the next official BIOS version does. :/

Got a dual core Athlon 64 X2 on an Asus board using NVidia chipset and getting lost ticks. The software clock of course is totally messed up. I've scanned google for a solution and see others complaining about bad code in the SMM BIOS. I have the latest bios and whatever they need to fix - isn't.

So - what do I do to make it work?

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105

On the kernel command-line:

x86_64:	try "notsc"
i386:	try "clock=pit"

"nosmp" works but isn't fun.
