I haven't been following this thread closely and assuming xntp is being used to synchronise the clocks. I've installed a new motherboard and I am seeing clock drift possibly because of a low battery,
If you had read my article O:-), you would know that while the system is up and running the CMOS clock is not used for anything in linux: thus a low battery has no effect at all; after boot, that is. If that drift is while running, and you have 9.0, read this: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/pohletz_desktop_90.html If the drift is only at boot time, delete /etc/adjtime
though ACPI is not reporting anything. I've had to edit crontab "crontab -e -u root" and insert the following line to keep my clock synched. * * * * * /usr/sbin/ntptimeset -S 1 -s >/dev/null 2>&1
Every minute! that's not the solution. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
