Salutations --
I have an old board with an installation of STABLE whose time keeps
running away. ntpd is not helping. I can manually set the time using
ntpdate, and my ntpq queries look fine, yet the clock persists in
running very fast (seems to be about 1.5x speed). The BIOS clock
remains correct, and the machine therefore has the correct time at each
reboot, but quickly runs away.
Data points:
- - I have set kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC, and this has not helped.
- - Two other hosts on the same network, using the same ntp server, do not
have this problem.
- - This box did not display this behavior under FreeBSD 5.2.
- - I have replaced the board on the problem box (with the same age
and type), and the problem persists.
- - dmesg for this machine, an old Dell Optiplex 590,
is below.
What other information might help diagnose the problem?
Thank you ... -d
