Hi, I think i read somewhere (for example here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.2/1865.html) that enabling the noapic option (for the kernel, in grub.conf) can cure similar problems. I also saw some reports (found by googling for "noapic time drift" or "linux time drift") that smp kernels can have these problems. Or perhaps your CFLAGS are too agressive ? You might want to try "-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe", gcc might have some subtle bug noone has noticed yet on amd64, although this might not have anything to do with your problem.
Sorry I cannot offer more, good luck ! Marco -- [email protected] mailing list
