           Summary: Hires timers do not work in 2.6.25.9
           Product: Timers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.25.9 SMP
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Interval Timers
        AssignedTo: timers_interval-timers at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: harbour at sfinx.od.ua


Latest working kernel version: do not know
Earliest failing kernel version: do not know
Distribution: slackware-current
Hardware Environment: Laptop Acer Ferrari 1100 (AMD X2 / ATI SB600 / 4GB RAM)
Software Environment: Plain Linus 2.6.25.9
Problem Description: Systems has HPET timer and LAPIC's, but dmesg contains :

...
Clockevents: could not switch to one-shot mode:<6>Clockevents: could not switch 
to one-shot mode: lapic is not functional.
Could not switch to high resolution mode on CPU 1
 lapic is not functional.
Could not switch to high resolution mode on CPU 0
...

Tried with [no success ] boot option 'clocksource=hpet' - dmesg still complains
about 'not functional lapic', even if hpet is explicitly selected as main clock
source.
 Can supply any additional info - dmesg is attached.

Steps to reproduce: Boot the kernel
