Are interrupts errors serious? Can anyone tell? The error count was higher
when I had a fifth PCI card in the computer (natsemi ethernet NIC).
Could there be some kind of PCI card conflict? Maybe I should try to
remove a few of them...

In other words, Athlon/Duron/K7 + HPET + Local APIC + IO-Apic
(though I have tried with both XT-PIC and Local APIC, with same
drift).
And no, the clock drift occurs no matter if ntpd is running or not.
It's having a very hard time to syncronize with the remote servers,
because the clock drift is too high. (It also says somewhere in the
NTP documentation that it doesn't handle too high clock drift.)
