Now I disabled all options I found that contained the word HPET:

CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=n
CONFIG_HPET=n
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=n

I also followed Martin Habets suggestion and set

CONFIG_RTC=y
CONFIG_GEN_RTC=n

and also
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
to
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=y

Without success.
-----------------------------------

Then I built a new kernel (2.6.15.1) (previos was 2.6.13)

Now the timer is working, but my usb card isn't anymore, while the pci
card is working.

jackd started with PCI-card (hw:0): (OK)

$ jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -p512

the snd-usb-audio module loaded successfully.
but jackd sais: cannot start driver.
any suggestions ?

Thanks for your help and inputs,
