Clock is Running Twice Normal Speed

[Frank Hahn]

I have a Gateway 7510GX laptop that I just installed Ubuntu Breezy on.

Most items seemed to work with this install (Sound, Wireless, etc.). The 
one thing I have noticed and it seems others have had a similiar problem 
is that the clock runs almost twice as fast as normal.

I have seen others that have this same problem but some of the solutions 
presented do not work.

One I have seen is to use the boot parameter of "noapic nolapic". Doing 
this the laptop does not boot and just stops with a BIOS error.

The other boot option I have seen is "no_timer_check" and this has no 
effect at all.

I have the most recent kernel and I am running in 32-bit mode and not 64-
bit. Are there any other options to help correct this problem? Should I 
try and step back a kernel version or two? If so, how would this be done?

Thanks for any suggestions.
