With CONFIG_RTC set:
* moving the mouse between windows *often* fails
to switch windows -- I haven't noticed any other
bad behavior, but this is enough.
* 'vmstat 1' reports around 30 interrupts per second
When I disable CONFIG_RTC,
* moving the mouse always switches windows correctly
* hwclock doesn't work (needs /dev/rtc)
* 'vmstat 1' reports over 1000 interrupts per second
Another problem: when I was running with CONFIG_RTC set, I rebooted
via ctrl-alt-del to the kernel without RTC, and got:
Jan 4 15:36:19 bhalpha1 kernel: Keyboard timeout[2]
Jan 4 15:36:19 bhalpha1 kernel: hda: IRQ probe failed (0)
Jan 4 15:36:19 bhalpha1 kernel: hda: lost interrupt
Jan 4 15:36:19 bhalpha1 kernel: floppy0: no floppy controllers found
I don't know if this is 'cause RTC left the system in a funny state or
what. I hit reset and the system booted normally (without RTC).
