Hello all, I have a dual-Pentium II 400MHz machine that show this strange behaviour: the clock runs much faster than it should, about 3 or 4 times the real time. This happens only under Linux; under "that other OS", version 4.0 didn't happens. Is this an hardware or software/firmware problem? I run SLES 7.0 here. Thank you, AC

I have no idea, but you could try deleting /etc/adjtime, and then set both system and hardware clocks to the same time. That would work if the system is wrongly triying to adjust the time. I also understand the ntp daemon can be used to tune the clock, making it run faster or slower: maybe it is wrong. I suppose that behaviour can be reset. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
