On my UP A2-stepping Itanium, however, I have enabled both the ASTEP_- and the A1_SPECIFIC setting. On this machine it doesn't seem to be a problem with the clock. Uptime today is four days. As David M. pointed out, I will compile a new kernel enabling only the ASTEP_SPECIFIC setting for the A2-stepping BigSur as this will be the correct configuration for the actual processor. I will also make some tests on a Dual A3-stepping BigSur with BIOS 60 which just came in my door... Thanks!
