[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I wrote about how FreeBSD 6.1 RC1, with latest RELENG_6 kernel, prints loads of "calcru: runtime went backwards..." and "calcru: negative runtime..." messages when the FreeBSD runs as virtual server under Microsoft Virtual Server 2006 R2. When I wrote this I was compiling and installing lots of packages, setting up the OS. Now that it is idle I have noticed one quite bad thing. Any process that sleeps on timer or sleep() call will wake up much later than it should. For example, when I start top there should be two seconds delay between updates of the screen. It takes up to 20 seconds! But when there is compilation running or something else CPU intensive, the timer seems to work fine. I even tried setting different kern.timecounter.hardware (TSC, ACPI-safe, i8254) and kern.hz (to lower than the default 1000) but that did not help a bit. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the calcru messages apart from reinstalling to real hardware? -- Vaclav Haisman [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRYhsh0NOZDESBK8FAQJm+wgAgPivYXdP1p0xJZ26ZXBnLxiglrLqTGng 2jE1AzRa8+7IEjaCoChttq8hYZd6VZeayF7c9zF0QpVUmSyhjGTnqmbKxZ1FFTSL mRsFVWH5ShcKGMOiLw0vFYnv6JTPddBG+ZIqae6c73rwSjrzPqJNr9Q++vJ/uneY OgJw/0YBDdG+PKDxncRGGWHe4mgnf/Vgx3HDvU4+SXLUvNsipDmZBx7e1q+tKyNl 0wWRJxMqUNo5y9ij8dkpdOHzNsVzg3n8zYEuDO9/66lxeNbA5xd3tJXPP3wloZv8 20dHkdqzXTOntemwOYIaq1MSMaqc+5t+dKAWrllgORrGNHAEgvcb4Q== =0mMY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
