Hi,

I am sorry but I cannot find the origin of the problem. Since 2.5.70, my
kernel has a lot of problems with its clock.

Take a look :

while ; do ntpdate -u ntp.tuxfamily.net ; sleep 2 ; done

I am running an AuthenticAMD mobile AMD Duron(tm) Processor with an ALi
Corporation M1647 Northbridge

If you give me some advices, i'll be able to provide more information
about this bug. For instance I don't see anything strange in the syslog.

Cheers,
