I think I've narrowed down the cause of this: The Linux kernel (2.6.18.5) is actually misdetecting the CPU frequency; it claims the processor is running at ~804 MHz when it's really running at ~797 MHz. I find that ntpd works fine if I switch away from the default "tsc" clocksource to a clocksource not dependent on the CPU frequency being detected correctly, e.g. "acpi_pm": # echo acpi_pm > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource -- Jordan Russell _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
