Bug Description
I have a problem where my clock runs fast, I believe that it may be a kernel
2.6.10 problem, there are other similar reports at:
http://
http://
Basically my clock gets over 2 minutes out over the day. There is nothing in the
syslog related to ntp after about 5 minutes from bootup.
(This maybe a kernel issue, but shouldn't ntp still keep the clock in sync ?)
I'm using hoary, with an nvidia nforce2 m'board

ntpd can only compensate for a certain amount of drift (500 PPM I believe). I
have a system which is in a similar situation, and the problem needs to be
corrected at a lower level (getting the clock running at the proper frequency)
rather than by updating the clock more aggressively.
In my case, the hardware in question is a Soekris net4501: www.soekris. com/net4501. htm
