Does your bios have the option to enable the hpet? (Maybe after a bios
update?)
If not:
Try booting with noapic, compile latest git kernel and buut it (w/o noapic).
Above message should now not appear, if I am not mistaken. Otherwise you have
to hack the kernel to not ignoge the timer override..
But I could be mistaken...
