6.0-BETA5 random freeze with rtc

[Thomas Quinot]

On a new Dell Precision 380 box running 6.05-BETA5, I've seen random
freezes (apparently not related to specific activities running on the
machine, which has web and mail servers and also runs an X server) a few
days apart.

On the last two instances, the last message recorded in the logs was the
same:

Nov 21 02:11:22 melamine kernel: rtc: 1000 > kern.hz: Timing will be inaccurate, please increase hz.

and this messages does not occur at any other time, so I suspect it's
related to the freezes I saw. I might have been running mplayer shortly
before the freeze. Could this be related to PR 71536? (i.e. could the
rtc bug cause a freeze, and not only an annoying console message?)

Thomas.
