If I remember well, I read something about system clock being too fast on SMP computers. It's happening on my system since I installed kernel 2.4.10 SuSE (about 2mn a day). Can it be cured ?, beside loading twice a day from a time server...
I'm running a dual Celeron Abit BP6 and my clock loses around 8 minutes in a week. Running SuSE 7.1 with the stock 2.4.0-SMP-64GB kernel. I'm going the NNTP route currently, but I'd much rather solve the problem by correcting whatever is the root of it rather than simply covering up the symptoms.

You all should be happy with such a minor clock problem. How about every time you booted Suse 7.1 your bios clock was changed by 4 hours, or 2 hours and 28 minutes, or 3 hours and 19 minutes, or some other weird time.
I have posted here several times, and have seen others with the very same problem. No help at all. Very frustrating and mystifying. Beginning to really aggravate me. Suse doesn't even acknowledge such a problem exists. It does though, believe me. Redhat never did that.

Sorry, unless your machine is SMP, this is totally unrelated to the problem discussed in this thread. Have you tried replacing your BIOS battery? David A. Riggs
