(Sorry if this message is received more than once, I'm having some
difficulty sending.)
Host machine is openindiana 151a5. (A solaris derivative)
Guest machines are Centos 5 (fully updated) x86_64
ntpd is not running.
Virtualbox guest additions are running.
On the guest:
cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/*
jiffies
jiffies
When I power on the guests, they start with the right time from the host.
But every minute, the guests gain approx 10 seconds. (Holy cow!)
Obviously, the guests are running too fast. The host is maintaining the
correct time.
The guest kernel is Linux 2.6.18-308.13.1.el5. (Normal for a fully updated
centos 5). Even though this is the latest kernel for centos 5, I recognize
this is a pretty old kernel.
As I google around, I find plenty of bug reports of people having virtualbox
time running too fast or too slow for various guests, and in particular, too
fast for centos5 / redhat 5 guests. The bug seems to have been around
forever ... The major question is... While a lot of people post various
solutions that work for specific systems in specific conditions, by passing
arguments to the guest kernel... Is there a well tested, reliable, well
understood solution for this?
Or do I just have to follow the random people on google, try various kernel
options and see what works for me?
Thanks for your suggestions...
