--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp Version: 2.6.18-2 Severity: normal hi, synopsis: packages like adjtimex, ntpd, chrony and company (all of which would use the adjtimex() system call) do not work. # ntptime ntp_gettime() returns code 5 (ERROR) time c8ccec87.0f8b4000 Tue, Oct 3 2006 16:04:55.060, (.060719), maximum error 16384000 us, estimated error 16 us ntp_adjtime() returns code 5 (ERROR) modes 0x0 (), offset 0.000 us, frequency 0.000 ppm, interval 1 s, maximum error 16384000 us, estimated error 16 us, status 0x40 (UNSYNC), time constant 0, precision 1.000 us, tolerance 512 ppm, and indeed strace reveals that: adjtimex({modes=0, offset=0, freq=0, maxerror=452112, esterror=16, status=64, constant=0, precision=1, tolerance=33554432, time={1159804982, 258090}}) = 5 which, according to my kernel-source-reading, means "clock is not synchronized" (to what?). Other architectures I have access to (i386, amd64) work fine. Could you please help me sort this out? The machine is etch, with the latest kernel pulled from sid. However, the problem also exists in the etch kernel (2.6.17-2). thanks, Andras -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: alpha Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-alpha-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.80 tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp recommends no packages. -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-alpha-smp: true
