Timer interrupt on Linux 3.0.3

[MohanReddy koppula]

I had the same issue with an MPC885 board. My kernel was 2.6.33. On
that board decrementer exception was not working. I replaced the
board, took new board (MPC885 only, just another board) and the same
kernel worked fine. I don't know how the problem was solved.
