I found, even with guest additions running, my Centos 5 x86_64 guest does not keep time with the host. But my Centos 6 x86_64 guest works perfectly fine. To fix the Centos 5 guest, I needed to add "divider=10" to the kernel lines in grub.conf I stumbled upon this fix on the internet, and at first it made me uncomfortable because of the imprecise nature. Why 10? Why not 9, or 11? Who came up with that? Why should it work? I found no answers. It seems, if the guest kernel tick counter is sufficiently too fast, then the guest virtualbox additions simply can't correct it as fast as it goes wrong. So by using this arbitrary divider, it slows down the kernel tick counter to the point where the guest additions can become the dominating force instead. Hope it works for you. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
