it's safe to disable for MVP3 chipset i believe those bugs are only
on REALLY REALLY REALLY old machines. i have done many MVP3-based
linux boxes and always turned it off, never had a problem.

i just leave my machine at the defaults, never had a problem. if you
almost never reboot it is not needed to upgrade the hardware clock
at all(one of my machines had it's hardware clock off by more then
12 hours for almost a year, but since the system was using the
software clock and it never rebooted there was no problems. just
for the hell of it i never manually updated the hardware
clock(hwclock --systohc)

i can't remember a time when i ever used modules.conf, i don't like
using the kernel module loader(fills my log files with useless crap

it's trying to find. and when i use modules i usually specify
the settings when i load. so i can't really comment on what
you do here.

you can but as the message implies its just a timestamp thing
i usually leave it alone. doesn't hurt anything(in my cases)
this message will self destruct in 5 seconds.
