Without access to the machine it is all but impossible for me to isolate the problem, but if you're not afraid to look at some weird C code, the right place to look is in sys/i386/isa/clock.c, startrtclock() and thereabout. What chipset does this machine use ? a compaq invention ? if so they may have done something stupid to the timers in the 8254. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
