Bug Description

The system clock runs twice as fast as it should and uses up 50% of the
processing power according to the GNOME System Monitor.
Can be fixed (supposably) by editing menu.lst for GRUB or patching a custom kernel.

System Specs:
Model: HP Pavilion zv6000, AMD 64, 1GB Mem, ATI Radeon Xpress 200m.
