5.3-RELEASE: SMP: system clock has died

[Stephane Raimbault]

I have an ASUS P2B-DS motherboard with dual P2 400MHz CPU's.  I have 
compiled the SMP kernel and noticed that something is not right.  In "top" 
the CPU values indicate 0% across the board, even idle!

last pid:  9462;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00    up 2+18:57:30  
13:11:47
14 processes:  1 running, 13 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% 
idle
Mem: 5232K Active, 115M Inact, 59M Wired, 60M Buf, 315M Free
Swap: 999M Total, 999M Free


Also, when I run systat and go to the vmstat page I get this error:

The alternate system clock has died!
         Reverting to ``pigs'' display.

There seems to be no errors in /var/log/messages.

here is my /var/run/dmesg.boot file

sol# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot

What is happening?  This is a test box I have here so I can do some testing 
as necessary.

Thank you,
Stephane.
