I've never encountered that problem. I have two VMWare servers running 7.2, and this is the only way to get semi-accurate time keeping. You still have to run ntpd to keep the clock from drifting. Maybe remove the other settings from loader.conf and try again with just this one line? If the kernel still doesn't load, what messages do you see on the screen? - Max _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
