Hi,

The new clock code seems to be broken (for me at least) or is there
something that I must do/set/configure to make things work again?

With kernels build today, both my 90MHz Pentium UP machine and my 266MHz
PII SMP machine gain a lot of time. The Pentium gain about 2 seconds per
minute and the SMP machine about 1 second per minute. Needless to say
xntpd can't cope with a frequency error that big. Previously xntpd and
ntp-4 reported a 24ppm error on the Pentium and a -297ppm error on the
SMP machine.

One other strange thing that I noticed is that "systat -vmstat" on the
SMP machine reports the clk0 interrupt rate as 50 and the rtc0 rate as
64, while on the UP machine it is still reported as 100 and 128 like
before.

Is there something I can try out to fix this? At this rate it will be
tomorrow a lot sooner than I anticipated. :-)

John
