My previous kernel from 7 Sept did not show the same behaviour. I have loopstat logging on in the ntp.conf file. Here is a piece of it when the time jumped. Normally the value in the fifth column (which is the frequency error in ppm) stays between 18 and 24 depending on the temperature. The fourth column is the offset in seconds between the time of the machine and what it should be. 50348 31219.252 -0.000256 22.4539 9 50348 31475.229 -0.000364 22.4483 9 50348 31666.224 -0.000323 22.4474 9 50348 31922.279 -0.000323 22.4462 9 50348 32434.230 -0.000474 22.4426 10 50348 32946.231 -0.000504 22.4387 10 50348 33314.229 -0.000499 22.4380 10 50348 33826.247 -0.000627 22.4369 10 50348 35695.236 0.001689 22.4369 7 50348 35759.223 -0.001300 22.3575 7 50348 35797.224 -0.001106 22.3475 7 50348 35861.225 -0.001051 22.3315 7 50348 35989.232 -0.001051 22.2994 7 50348 36240.233 0.069571 38.9530 6 50348 36304.231 0.053500 42.2184 6 50348 36432.228 0.031341 46.0442 6 50348 36496.225 0.022247 47.4020 6 50348 36560.223 0.015851 48.3696 6 50348 36624.230 0.010741 49.0251 6 50348 36688.227 0.006013 49.3921 6 50348 36752.229 0.003766 49.6220 6 50348 36816.224 0.001216 49.6963 6 Does anybody have an idea?
