It loses almost 2 minutes per hour, less if it sits idle. This problem does not occur when it's running a 2.4 kernel. There's nothing noteworthy in dmesg. This has been going on since at least the 2.5.7x kernels, and possible also the 2.5.6x kernels. I strongly suspect a bug in the time-keeping changes in late 2.5 kernels. The 486 has no TSC, and I don't have an NTP server to keep my machines' times in sync. /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
