I just built and installed a new world and kernel and now the clock will not move from the time the system was booted, ie: # date Thu Jul 15 16:15:58 PDT 2010 # date Thu Jul 15 16:15:58 PDT 2010 I have an old kernel from May 27 which doesn't have this problem. I noticed some clock related stuff changing in current in the last couple of weeks and suspect that their VM setup doesn't play well with these changes (their site says they use Xen, but several boot messages refer to QEMU). Officially, I think they only support running 8.0 so I thought I would ask here if anyone has any ideas before putting in a support request. Here's a diff of the dmesgs - I can post full copies if needed but didn't want to start with a ridicously long message: --- dmesg.old 2010-07-15 17:45:20.000000000 -0700 +++ dmesg.new 2010-07-15 17:46:45.000000000 -0700 @@ -2,10 +2,9 @@ Copyright (c) 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California.
