Run 'bash' as root and you might see the same message :
# bash
Unknown HZ value! (26) Assume 100.
I have no idea what is printing this message or why. I do know that
only 1 out of 6 debian machines I use exhibits this. Also, that
machine hasn't always done that. It is annoying, but otherwise
appears harmless. I am interested in knowing what it means and even
how to correct the situation :-).
