OK. Enough from me on comments as I have been told. NTP though is designed to
compensate for drift you describe, so why do you object to using it? I use it
but for my problem the time I am losing is too great for it to compensate.
I have been fiddling with this, and after booting into the XEN kernel the time
now is doing the correct thing. Rebooted back to the default kernel and it is
still doing the right thing. So I have no idea of whats going on. The only
other thing I did was correct the time in the BIOS which was a little slow, but
not by much. This is what happened last time, it mysteriously started working
properly again. i dont know how to replicate the problem. Tried putting the
BIOS clock back a few minutes, but it is still working properly. Must be some
odd interaction with the hardware somewhere. When it was happening the BIOS
clock had the correct time, but the system time was losing minutes and minutes
per hour. I will play some more but I can be no more use in diagnostics when
the problem is not currently happening. But I fear it will come back again.
