Bug Description

I have a ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard with nvidia nForce2 chipset.

The symptom I had was a huge clock drift (many minutes for one hour) and VLC video streaming (my ISP free.fr distributes TV with VLC on their neitwork) worked only a few minutes before image freezes with messages like "main warning: late picture skipped (2732961)
 main warning: computed PTS is out of range (2596547), clearing out
 main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling
 main warning: PTS is out of range (2636228), dropping buffer
 main warning: output PTS is out of range (2617423), clearing out
 main warning: PTS is out of range (2612287), dropping buffer
 main warning: PTS is out of range (2588313), dropping buffer
main warning: PTS is out of range (1304194), dropping buffer
 ts warning: discontinuity received 0x9 instead of 0xf (pid=69)
 ts warning: discontinuity received 0xe instead of 0xb (pid=70)

 ts debug: PMTCallBack called
 main warning: vout synchro warning: pts != current_date (-2759978)
 main warning: PTS is out of range (1292834), dropping buffer"

see another post of that problem here (sorry, in french) : http://www.freeplayer.org/viewtopic.php?t=5125&view=previous&sid=c77b29c1edcaaf99cc1161565fe5575d and here : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=699248

I found a workaround by appending "noapic nolapic" to the kernel boot options.

The "noapic" option is sufficient to correct the problem.

Hi,

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue and that your above work around is still needed - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . If the issue still exists, please add the Hardy kernel "linux" task to the bug report. This can be done by clicking on the "Also affects distribution" link in the Actions area on left hand side of the bug report. Select "Ubuntu" as the Distribution and type in "linux" for the Source Package Name. Thanks.
