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 !

Thanks Marco, noapic worked beautifully. now my clock is very much in
tune with what time should be like, however, now, my box will not
recieve a dhcp ip address whenever i use this option to boot my kernel.
any suggestions?
cheers,
matthew
