I still have minor drift (about 5 minutes after a week) but it can easily be handled by ntp at that point. I'd give that a try. :-) -Mark Frank Behrens wrote: > Sergey Matveychuk wrote on 19 Mar 2007 17:15: >> I have a problem with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE in VmWare Server on Windows >> 2003 host. > > Unfortunately I can't help you, but I observed the same problem on a GSX 3.2.1 on Linux. > >> Time is a hour slow for a day. >> >> I have hint.apic.0.disabled=1 in loader.conf >> I've tried all possible values in kern.timecounter.hardware. > > The same for me, nothing helped.
