Carl,

'tsc' (a.k.a. Time Stamp Counter) relies on the CPU clock. This is not a 
suitable clock source if your power management system changes the CPU 
frequency. It can also get confused if you have a multi-core system. If 
your list of available clock sources includes 'hpet' (a.k.a. High 
Precision Event Timer), that would probably be your best bet. I have an 
older mobo, and 'tsc' works best on it.
