Bug#272540: HPET and RTC conflict

[Ondrej Medek <xmedeko@cml.fsv.cvut.cz>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important

Hi,

we have new DELL OptiPlex GX280 with i915G chipset. 

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx280/en/index.htm

spec:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx280/en/ug/specs.htm

I've installed the Sarge, but after the reboot, the machine "hanged" when
booting a precompiled kernel kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686. The last message was

Real Time Clock Driver v1.12

I have compiled several versions of kernel 2.6.8 (from Debian source
package) and I realized there cannot be chosen HPET and RTC togather. It
works with only HPET or only RTC.

Regards
        MeDon
