1 Hi,
2
3 I have a 12" powerbook with gentoo running 2.4.21 from the ppc-sources.
4 While most things run fine, I am having difficulties with a very
5 undiscplined clock. It runs fast and sometimes slow... I am not dual
6 booting with OSX so that shouldn't be an issue either. I have also
7 removed NTPD from the startup scripts.
8
9 In the kernel the /dev/nvram and advanced rtc are disabled.
10
11 after removing /etc/adjtime and setting the clock up with utc and the
12 /etc/localtime as well to utc, i still get major drift:
13
14 cat /etc/adjtime
15 -86399.772241 1065167583 0.000000
16 1065167583
17 UTC
18
19 The time seems to vary from boot up to boot up. Also I am unsure wheter
20 the cpu frequency which, readjusts itself when i plug the device, might
21 affect the clock speed.
22
23 Does anybody have anything I could try, or maybe even got it working?
