Subject: System clock speed too high - 2.6.3 kernel
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 14:30:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403261430.18629.praedor@yahoo.com> (raw)

In doing a web search on system clock speeds being too high, I found entries
describing exactly what I am experiencing in the linux-kernel list archives,
but have not yet found a resolution.
I have Mandrake 10.0, kernel-2.6.3-7mdk installed, on an IBM Thinkpad 1412
laptop, celeron 366, 512MB RAM. I am finding that my system clock is ticking
away at a rate of about 3:1 vs reality, ie, I count ~3 seconds on the system
clock for every 1 real second. I am running ntpd but this is unable to keep
up with the rate of system clock passage.
I had to slow my keyboard repeat rate _way_ down in order to be able to type
at all as well. The system is limited, in that I have no way to alter the
actual system clock (in bios at any rate). The CPU is properly identified as
a celeron 366.
Does anyone have any enlightenment, or a fix, to offer? The exact same
software setup on a desktop system, Athlon XP2700+, has no such problems.
