Hello everyone,
my name is Geir, I'm an Icelander living in Ipswich and this is my first email to this user group.
I'm running Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10, on and old Compaq pentium III machine.
My problem is that the system clock is running at approx 2x the speed it should be running on. The hardware clock is ok.
Solutions that don't seem to work: * adjtimex * ntpd * booting without apm or acpi
The required parameters for adjtimex are way outside the allowed parameters.
ntpd doesn't seem to cope either, if I'm running it correctly. It doesn't seem to do anything at all. How do I adjust the frequency of ntpd updates anyway? Some command in the /etc/ntp.conf I guess?
Booting without apm or acpi doesn't seem to work, if I'm doing it correctly.
I've seen in various forums that people running a 64-bit machine are having the same troubles but this isn't the case for me.
Any ideas?
Very best regards, Geir Freysson.
