Three hours a day sounds like Linux is mis-understanding some clock rate on your system. Maybe a mismatch between some motherboard part and the corresponding driver. I should check the motherboard manufacturer's web-site and do a web search with Linux and the motherboard model. Have you over-clocked the CPU?
Background: The hardware clock is only used while the machine is switched off. It is too slow to use during normal running and OSs do not do so. Linux reads it at start-up and writes it at shutdown. During running OSs set up a regular interrupt and count them to keep track of the current time. -- Richard Urwin, Private "No 9000 series computer has ever made a mitsake or corrubiteddatatato." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:newbie-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of windwalker Sent: 31 October 2002 21:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] clock help I Installed mandrake.
