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...
