Hi all Im running several OpenBSD 3.9 VM's on a GSX server and the clocks on the OBSD vm's drift pretty bad, the real time host hardware clock is fine. Anyone got any ideas? I've see stuff about disabling APIC (not APCI) for freebsd having this same problem, but im not sure if this or how do disable it under OpenBSD.
Thanks!! :-) Justin B Here is the dmesg from the VM OpenBSD 3.9 (GENERIC) #617: Thu Mar 2 02:26:48 MST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Pentium III ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 934 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 267952128 (261672K) avail mem = 237506560 (231940K) using 3296 buffers containing 13500416 bytes (13184K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(08) BIOS, date 04/21/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd880 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown apm0: flags 30102 dobusy 0 doidle 1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd880/0x780 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfdf30/176 (9 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:07:0 ("Intel 82371FB ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #1 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xc8000/0x1000 0xdc000/0x4000! 0xe4000/0x4000! cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 pcib0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x08 pciide0 at pci0 dev 7 function 1 "Intel 82371AB IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive> wd0: 64-sector PIO, LBA, 6144MB, 12582912 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled) piixpm0 at pci0 dev 7 function 3 "Intel 82371AB Power" rev 0x08: SMBus disabled vga1 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "VMware Virtual SVGA II" rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) bha3 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "BusLogic MultiMaster" rev 0x01: irq 11, BusLogic 9xxC SCSI bha3: model BT-958, firmware 5.07B bha3: sync, parity scsibus0 at bha3: 8 targets pcn0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "AMD 79c970 PCnet-PCI" rev 0x10, Am79c970A, rev 0: irq 10, address 00:0c:29:a4:8c:52 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pmsi0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pmsi0 mux 0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378/4 irq 7 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pccom1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 biomask eb65 netmask ef65 ttymask ffe7 pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: CPU supports MTRRs but not enabled dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 root on wd0a rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302
