the subject says it all:
if I use the powersaving module amd76x_pm then the time is not kept. The
hardware is Asus A7M266-D with 2 MP1900 processors, BIOS is 1004 (but I
tried later BIOS versions as well).
Symptoms are:
- ping times vary and there are 'time of day goes back' messages:
64 bytes from xx (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=19.549 msec
64 bytes from xx (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=2.684 sec
Warning: time of day goes back, taking countermeasures.
64 bytes from xx (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=9.799 msec
64 bytes from xx (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=88 usec
64 bytes from xx (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=20.011 msec

- ntpq -p shows a very high jitter:

- ntpd complains:

- the program 'check_time' (attached) which was once posted by R.
Johnson on this list shows that the internal timekeeping is
inconsistent:
Time = 3dedf443
Last = 3dedf440
Time = 3dedf440
Last = 3dedf443
Time = 3dedf443
Last = 3dedf440
Time = 3dedf440
Last = 3dedf443
Time = 3dedf443
Last = 3dedf440
Time = 3dedf440
Last = 3dedf443
Time = 3dedf443
Last = 3dedf440
Time = 3dedf440
Any ideas? Am I really the only one who has seen these problems (on 4
identical machines, BTW)?
