One thing that might help from Dell is to let us know how the timer
is supposed to be set up on this box (Dimension C521).  The kernel
seems to be having a problem finding the interrupt.  My boot indicates
it is using the XT-PIC (8259 mode).  Shouldn't it be using the IO-APIC?
There is a kernel argument "pirq=" which might be used to set the
right interrupt.
