Hello,

We are using three systems with the same Linux 2.0.36 version.

One has no timer problem, meanwhile two other systems are going back
by 15 minutes a day.

Differences:

The two machines having this timer troubles have both an integrated
Adaptec 7800 Adaptec controller and a 3c905 10/100 network controller.

These motherboards are Asus P2B-D/P2B-DS Dual Pentium.

/proc/interrupts of one of the systems:

0: 168097280 timer
1: 6597 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
8: 1 + rtc
11: 33829457 eth0
12: 7321490 aic7xxx
13: 15201284 + IPI

We can turn around this problem installing a networked timer server based on
nist package from frank@icce.rug.nl

Before we deliver such solution, is someone having an idea from where the
problem is coming (dual processor, integrated aic7xxx, etc)

Regards

E. Soriano
