Hi all, The time on my good ol' alpha machine is suddently very strange: It changes every second :)
Here is the output of a few date commands, typed consecutively: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Wed Jan 7 15:08:56 CET 1970 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Fri Jan 2 00:19:44 CET 1970 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Wed Jan 7 01:35:08 CET 1970 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Mon Jan 12 03:55:37 CET 1970 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Tue Jan 6 03:04:13 CET 1970 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > Thu Jan 1 01:16:16 CET 1970 It seemed to me that it occured when I upgraded from slink to potato, but I might be wrong (I don't use my alpha very often). Trying to set the date doesn't change anything. Any clue on what may cause this? I though it might be some kind of hardware problem. Is there a clock battery in the multia that might have to be changed? Misc info: - The box is a multia (noname) - OS is potato - RTC seems OK from the log : Real Time Clock Driver v1.09 rtc: ARC console epoch (1980) detected Thanks, Julien
