Correct.

See http://users.birkenwald.de/~berni/temp/dmesg-lenny and 
http://users.birkenwald.de/~berni/temp/dmesg-squeeze . Although running 
on the same kernel binary the initrd changed greatly when upgrading, so 
ordering/timing between those two is off.

Note that the dmesg output is captured right after boot. I think I 
remember seeing a "TSC unstable" message pretty soon after boot, but I 
might be mixing it up with my other AMD-based KVM server. I don't hold 
normal (non-boot) logs that long, so I can't tell for sure.

If you need any more info feel free to contact me.
