Hi guys, Has anyone else noticed the tendency for 9.0-R to be unable to accurately keep time? I've got a couple of machines that have been upgraded from 8.2 that are struggling, in particular a Virtual box guest that was fine on 8.2, but now that's its been upgraded to 9.0 counts at anything from 2 to 20 seconds per 5 second sample, the result is similar with HPET, ACPI-fast and TSC. I also have physical boxes which new seem to drift quite substantially, ntpd cannot keep up and as these boxes need to be able to report the time relatively accurately, it is causing problems with log times and such... Any suggestions most welcome! Thanks, J
