clock timer configuration lost on a ServerWorks Chipset

[Seth Mos]

Hi,

We have a Dell PE2500 with 2 1.13Ghz processors and 2GB of ram and highmem 
enabled.
We are currently running Red Hat Linux 7.1 with a kernel compiled from 
kernel-source-2.4.9-12SGI_XFS_PR1
Which is the Red Hat Update kernel patched with XFS.

Nov 28 14:03:51 coltex-2 kernel: probable hardware bug: clock timer 
configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard.
Nov 28 14:03:51 coltex-2 kernel: probable hardware bug: restoring chip 
configuration.

These messages seem a bit odd. The PowerEdge 2500 has a Serverworks chipset 
so what is producing these
errors? They appear about once or twice a day.

I am not subscribed to the list.
