I'm running 4.4-Stable on an ABIT KA7 VIA KX133 and getting the dreaded microuptime() backwards problem. The clock suddenly sprints forward by huge leaps and bounds, and even ntpd cannot keep up. Searching through archives of postings, I see Greg Lehey mention turning off apm, or if that can't be done, throwing in a special kernel config. I've done both, but the problem remains. I see this at boot time: apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 I have apm turned off in the BIOS, and I have this line in my kernel config: device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x31 However, the clock still goes whacko every few months, requiring a reboot to restore functionality to the machine. I'd rather not go through the struggles of replacing the mobo, but if that's my only option... Any other ideas? I don't see any mention of it in the release notes for 4.5.
