You caught my interest with your statement, could you provide some more information about this timer thing. What do you mean by which timer to use? Where do use this setting? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Predius Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 9:06 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: racing clock Yup, had an older Dell Dimension which would do the same thing, ntpd couldn't adjust enough to correct for it. There is a sysctl that you can use to change which timer your system runs off, switch it and you'll be fine. kern.timecounter.hardware: i8254 If my dmesg wasn't wiped out by imcp bandwidth limiting messages (why do those go to the dmesg log by default?!) I'd get the name of the other timer. Net result, switch the one you're using and you should be all set.
