Greetings From Sintok!

Over the past few days, I have been playing with BackTrack 2 Final. I run BackTrack on the top of Qemu. When I ran qemu, I got the following error:

Could not configure ‘/dev/rtc’ to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a fatal error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux kernel or type ‘echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq’ as root.

To settle this error, you can type

echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq as root. But it will appeared again after reboot. To ensure we has 1024 Hz timer after reboot, add an entry to /etc/sysctl.conf:

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.rtc.max-user-freq=1024

It works for me and it should works for you too. Perhaps, give it a try if you’re facing the same problem.
