Way back when I first got an X2 they couldn't keep time for whatever |
| 2 |
reason. I used to have to add something like "clock=pmtmr notsc" to the |
| 3 |
kernel command line to make it behave. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
That issue was fixed in a later kernel, but you could start adding clock |
| 6 |
options to your kernel command line and pray that one of them jiggles |
| 7 |
something in your favor. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
A couple from the kernel docs: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
clock=[BUGS=IA-32, HW] gettimeofday clocksource override. |
| 13 |
[Deprecated] |
| 14 |
Forces specified clocksource (if avaliable) to be used |
| 15 |
when calculating gettimeofday(). If specified |
| 16 |
clocksource is not avalible, it defaults to PIT. |
| 17 |
Format: { pit | tsc | cyclone | pmtmr } |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
clocksource=Override the default clocksource |
| 21 |
Format: <string> |
| 22 |
Override the default clocksource and use the clocksource |
| 23 |
with the name specified. |
| 24 |
Some clocksource names to choose from, depending on |
| 25 |
the platform: |
| 26 |
[all] jiffies (this is the base, fallback clocksource) |
| 27 |
[ACPI] acpi_pm |
| 28 |
[ARM] imx_timer1,OSTS,netx_timer,mpu_timer2, |
| 29 |
pxa_timer,timer3,32k_counter,timer0_1 |
| 30 |
[AVR32] avr32 |
| 31 |
[X86-32] pit,hpet,tsc,vmi-timer; |
| 32 |
scx200_hrt on Geode; cyclone on IBM x440 |
| 33 |
[MIPS] MIPS |
| 34 |
[PARISC] cr16 |
| 35 |
[S390] tod |
| 36 |
[SH] SuperH |
| 37 |
[SPARC64] tick |
| 38 |
[X86-64] hpet,tsc |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
tsc=Disable clocksource-must-verify flag for TSC. |
| 42 |
Format: <string> |
| 43 |
[x86] reliable: mark tsc clocksource as reliable, this |
| 44 |
disables clocksource verification at runtime. |
| 45 |
Used to enable high-resolution timer mode on older |
| 46 |
hardware, and in virtualized environment. |
