I realized that, just didn't want to get too verbose since you posted the explanation just a few messages back. >Try running your kernel at hz=256, that should kill the warninng, Thanks, but I'm not motivated.:-) >> System 2. > >FreeBSD version???

Actually I don't recall seeing the kern.hz message on this system - might be because I don't kldload rtc? Don't quite remember why, but I think it caused VMwares with Win guests to be CPU hogs even when idle. Might be a thing of the past though. --Per Hedeland
