apic vs. acpi-- yeah-- those are my dyslexic fingers at the keyboard--
that's the option I tried-- and it fixed the clock and took out the
network. I guess as a last resort-- if I'm online-- I could have a
cronjob set to update the clock every second or something dumb like that
-- and just pass in the noapic at boot if I'm going to be offline.
as far as kernel-- I've run the SuSE updates and have the current kernel
that SuSE blesses

haven't tried a bios update-- I'll look into that.

The real issue that's burning me up right now is the system clock is
running faster than it should -- like 2x faster.

Anyone ever see anything like this before?
I have, but it's been a while so I don't remember exactly how I fixed
it. What kernel version are you running? Have you tried upgrading
your kernel? Your bios? I'll keep racking my brain to see if I can
remember the fix...
Another thought - you might try disabling APIC instead of ACPI at boot
(noapic)
