Anyone knows were I can look for help about SMP and/or the /dev/rtc clock, please? Thank you, AC -----Mensagem original----- De: Antônio L. F.

This happens only under Linux; under "that other OS", version 4.0 didn't happens. Is this an hardware or software/firmware problem? I run SLES 7.0 here. Thank you, AC
