The following reply was made to PR i386/104867; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jeffrey Brower" <Jeff@PointHere.net> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org>, <Jeff@PointHere.net> Cc: "'Bruce Cran'" <bruce@cran.org.uk> Subject: Re: i386/104867: Clock running at 2x speed of wall clock Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 19:58:23 -0400 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0692_01C8B20F.0A7D8170 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I verified that the timecounter was indeed i8254 after I recompiled with that option and it still ran double time. Everything I tried failed - even NTP gave up because it was constantly slewing. No one could solve it and I never got an answer so I ended up pulling the box and replacing it with a more modern motherboard about a year and a half ago and I have had no problems since. Frankly, the board was past its prime anyway - but it was fine for a dedicated firewall if I could have gotten it to work. I just needed the clock to be right so that the logs would match in case I needed to do forensics. -- Jeff ------=_NextPart_000_0692_01C8B20F.0A7D8170 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.6001.17184"></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=3D578224223-09052008><FONT face=3DVerdana>I verified = that the=20 timecounter was indeed i8254 after I recompiled with that option and it = still=20 ran double time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D578224223-09052008><FONT=20 face=3DVerdana></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D578224223-09052008><FONT face=3DVerdana>Everything I = tried failed=20 - even NTP gave up because it was constantly slewing.
