is not a real problem, but :

On my laptop (Thinkpad i1400/most recent BIOS) *all* is runing fine (display, sound, internal modem (lucent), suspend/resume, auto-shutdown on power-button, X, pccard,...), except :

with ACPI loaded:

1) internal clock drifts without "kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254" in /etc/sysctl.conf;
documented issue, not realy a problem (I think).

2) `systat -vmstat` do not work! 

I receive the message 
"The alternate system clock has died! 
Reverting to ``pigs'' display."

also `top` and similar programs can't be able to display instantaneous cpu load ! ( reports 0% CPU all times)

without ACPI, systat & top works fine

I tested -current with GENERIC (built uesterday) and my custom kernel (GENERIC striped nonexistent devices)

Any idea ?

Note: the 'systat' problem apears on 4.7-stable if I build a custom kernel with "options USER_LDT"


Thanks
