After updating my FC6 from 2.6.20-1.2952 to 2.6.22.9-61, it seems I
started getting some error messages about TSC being disabled.
/var/log/messages had this with the old kernel:
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: Total of 2 processors activated
(7317.20 BogoMIPS).
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs

fixed it up.
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: CPU#1 had 1014760 usecs TSC skew,
fixed it up.

Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: migration_cost=38
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 16
the new one says:

Is this normal? Should I do anything about it?
Thanks
