Hi, I have been having this problem with -current for the past 2 weeks now (I am new to -current and just started using it 2 weeks ago). I just did a cvsup and rebuilt the kernel and rebuilt the world. My clock seems to be running too fast, and I keep resetting it with ntpdate. I looked at this FAQ entry for hints, "Why is the clock on my laptop keep incorrect time?" http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/05.26.shtml My default sysctl value for kern.timecounter hardware is: kern.timecounter.hardware: ACPI-safe The Timecounters available on my system are: dmesg | grep Timecounter Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz Timecounter "TSC" frequency 400910436 Hz Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec I reset my timecounter: sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Now the clock seems to run at a more reasonable rate. Is there a problem with the ACPI code or with my hardware (an ASUS P5A-B motherboard from about 3 or 4 years ago). How can I default to i8254 as my default timer? Is there something I should put in device.hints? -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@attbi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
