- When the OS starts "Fast TSC calibration failed" appears in RHEL message.
This message is output when access performance to the PIT (Programmable Interval Timer) is less than the
expected value in TSC (Time Stamp Counter) adjustment process of OS boot.
This cause is virtualization overhead of PIT, which is performed by the Extended Partitioning Firmware.
But in this case, the system does not be affected because the OS switches automatically to the HPET (High Precision
Event Timer).
