Hello, I have gotten the lguest port working on the 2.6.25.0 kernel, it works mighty fine here. The load issue for me is only on plan9, on the host I can see with 'top' that the lguest guest isn't consuming all the cpu, so this might ust be a plan9 problem. I have also seen quite a few

both the excessive load and these messages sound like a timesync problem. yeah, that's really weird. One option is to set up the kernels without any fancy timers -- just use the old PC timers. do you think that's the problem? time jumping backwards doesn't seem like something that could be

I'm currently enjoying cheap wine with some friends in Saloniki. If you get a cheap ticket you can go to Volos from here with the bus (it is much more comfortable than the train). From the airport to the bus station you will have to travel to the other side of the city, which can take quite some

Well, i don't think I am starting two timesync, ps a shows only one: If Xen is anything to go by, time keeping is a problem in virtualisation. And Erik is misguiding you :-) Thing is, if timesync is wresting with the clock as it seems to do if two instances are running, it does consume a lot

Hello. For one timesync couldn't write to the rtc, so I commented out the lines in cpurc. Well, here timesync is not the problem, time is reported incorrectly, and I do not really know how to set it. I tried echoing unix time into '#r' and /dev/rtc, with no luck: $sysname# ls -l /dev/rtc

I just realized that even one timesync is too much. You should not run any at all. The hardware clock is set from Linux and I don't even allow it to be set. It makes no sense to do that. So don't let timesync run. thanks ron
