Hello, Searching through the mailing list I could not find a reference to this problem, hence this post. Having ran various kernel and distribution combinations (SGI's 2.4.2-xfs bundled with their Red Hat installer, 2.4-xfs-1.0 and 2.4 CVS trees, Linux Mandrake with default kernel 2.4.3, and lastly 2.4.5-ac9), compiled for generic i386 and/or Transmeta Crusoe with APM off or on, one thing sticks out : a clock drift of a few minutes per day. This problem might not be noticeable for most users since notebooks are not normally left running that long, but it is rather serious. I can choose not to sync the software and hardware clock on shutdown and re-read the hardware clock every hour or so but it is rather kludgy. Anyone experienced this before or willing to try it out?
