What model and version of BIOS is your system using? I had a similar problem which was caused by USB plug & play. Disabling the USB option in the bios settings prevented the system clock to run faster than the RTC.
The system I was running used a Phoenix BIOS. hope this is of help ------------- David -----Original Message----- From: Stephen D.

Dear List, Some time back, S. Ancelot wrote: > When our realtime application runs, the system clock goes faster than > the real timeclock . (+1 or 2hours after 24h) We are experiencing exactly the same problem you described below. Has anyone figured out what is causing it and, more importantly, how to make it stop? Note: The speed of the time gain appears to vary with the speed of the loops in our various threads (though not necessarily linearly). We have a need for reasonably precise time synchronization in our system and want Linux to use NTP to keep things in synch with another system to within a few milliseconds. Unfortunately, with this clock problem, NTP is hopeless. Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Steve -------------------------- Stephen D.
