I have an asus A8N-SLI premium board and cannot seem to get my clock

Had this problem when I first got this laptop running FC4, it's a known
kernel bug and the only real way I know to make it go away is to use
no-timer-check in the kernel boot parameters.
Are you running a dual core CPU? If so I had this issue and it is due to
TSC sync. Emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r4 and it has a patch that fixes
this issue.
Hmmm.. I have the same issue, and this upgrade to 2.6.13-r4 did not appear to
fix the problem. My clock still gains many seconds per minute. Of course, if
I rebuild the same kernel without SMP it works like a charm.
An additional problem is in my XP vmware... with SMP, the "keeyyyboooaaarrrd"
is crazy, and any media files (.wmv, .ram, etc) run at x4 speed. Most
annoying.
I noticed this as well, the only problem is, the issue seems to be with
XP. I have had nothing but trouble out of it when running on Dual Core
CPUs. Is the XP version you are using the 32bit? or 64bit? I bet it's
the former based on the (x4) in the post, as the 64bit version would
probably sound only twice as fast. Granted I'm only guessing.
I have:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
2Gb Geil RAM
