I'm having a bit of a problem with my new server. I've built it up with 64 bit ubuntu, and I have 3 problems that I can't seme o find any reason for at all:
1. The clock keeps gaining big time - hours a day. No way ntp can control that. 2. The keyboard keeps repeating keys. I've read that a poor quality KVM can cause that, but why only on this box, and none of the others? 3. It keeps crashing for no reason. The log gets confusing because of the clock, but, for example Apr 8 19:36:34 localhost dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.202 (10.0.0.201) from 00:00:24:c6:1e:74 via eth0 Apr 8 19:36:34 localhost dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.202 to 00:00:24:c6:1e:74 via eth0 Apr 8 18:13:26 localhost syslogd 1.4.1#17ubuntu3: restart. Apr 8 18:13:26 localhost kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8-smp Apr 8 18:13:26 localhost kernel: Loaded 28582 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8-smp. Apr 8 18:13:26 localhost kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.6.12. absolutely no error messages at all! I tried building my own kernel, only to find that a) the compile delivered by default (gcc 4.0.1) is not the one used to compile the kernel (suspicious), and b) building a kernel with gcc 4.0.1 creates a solution that will not boot. I suspect that all the problems are tied in to this clock issue. Has anyone suffered a similar problem and got any pointers on how to fix it? My current view is to scrap using 64 bit until it grows up, and reert to 32 bit. Any comments? Cheers, Steve
