The system was slower. Things run pretty smooth now (duron-800/512Mb) with the default HZ=100, /but/ : Now vmware3 is complaining about the rtc : timing error, please increase... The virtual machine itself runs just fine. If it does no harm I want to stick to the HZ=100. What does this rtc message mean and what are the consequenses? An unstable system? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
