I have /dev/rtc from previous

I have this set to 1024 (kernel hz?) in /etc/sysctl.conf.

There are hpet source files in the kernel sources and among them an 
hpet/emulate.rtc.h. No particular hpet.ko was built, however.

There is a /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.8/Documentation/hpet.txt which says that this 
is a REPLACEMENT for the rtc stuff and the first two of its 32  timers will 
stand in for the rtc. So it would seem one or the other.

Got it, copied the files to places and my startup stuff to run it.

So will give everything a try out. The kernel runs fine. Debian's nvidia built 
and works OK. One caveat is that hal kicks out all the dma and 32-bit disk 
accesses but they can be immediately set back so I put that in my startup 
stuff as well.
