(P4-2.8ghz) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I'm testing the 2.4.27 kernel on an IBM ThinkCentre A30 Desktop. The system has a P4 2.8Ghz processor, 512 Megs of ram and IDE disk. The clock on the system is very much off. Using the "/bin/date" command it seems to actually count 1 second for every 10 or so. Under load this can be even slower. I've reproduced this on 3 separate pieces of hardware. Has anyone run into this or have an idea? My next step is to try an older kernel with the same config but that may take a bit to get built and tested.
