Re: uptime problem Suse 9.2

I read some threads and I thnik the problem is this:
50 days difference = 4320000000
2^32 = 4294967296
This is a 32 bit integer overflow you are seeing.
You are probably using a kernel with HZ=1000, i.e. 1 millisecond time
slice, and the patch that was applied to the kernel for that purpose
has a bug.

so now the questions are:
How do I know if my kernel is HZ=1000 ???
and
How I download a patch for this?.

thanks.

OS: Suse 9.2
---------------------
I have the uptime for 40-60 days, but one day it some kind of
"restarts" in 0.
I checked the /var/log/messages and there was no signal of reboot, also
the "last" command dont have any reboot.
I didnt shutdown the PC and it is working Ok.
I just want to know how uptime is implemented, so I can figure out what
is my problem.

This happened 3 or 4 time in the past 12-18 months.
Any ideas?.
