Hi have trayed 'noapic' kernel parameter but the result is system hang trying to start SATA suport for hard drive. Do you now another solution? I have the BIOS updated up to last version.
Sounds similar to a problem we've been having with some HP hardware... try disabling the cpu frequency scaling. Not sure on suse 9.3 but on sles9 you edit /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common and set the POWERSAVE_CPUFREQD_MODULE value to "off" Our dl385s would drift a bunch at boot time (clock would be a couple days ahead) then ntp would fix it, but I think ntp had to keep fixing skew. The couple of dl585s we have would just get farther and farther ahead... the clock was so bad on those I did a: date; sleep 10; date on one and the time difference was 2:10.. ouch. Disabling the frequency scaling (was loading module freq_table) fixed the problems for us. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com [It's Halloween Kitty gives out raisins] Kids: "Ewwwww..."
