I have a guest that is having a heck of a time keeping time. it loses several hours each day. I've tried using NTP to keep time on it, but it gets so far off that NTP gives up and dies. Any ideas, workarounds, etc?
If this happens on a recent kernel I would be interested to learn why... Is your hardware clock being synched with a 9037 maybe? I have seen some weird things there and would like to see someone else show evidence.
Are you sure time started off right? I found problems in SuSE's boot.clock that will set your Linux system time with random offset to the hardware TOD. Without NTP, Linux should stay on time with the hardware TOD clock. If the drift of that clock is too much for you then you might consider to run ntpd (which will give you more jitter and cost cycles, but may prevent drift over time.
