Recently, in the past two or three weeks, the clock has been incorrect
every time I resume from ACPI suspend. Before that it was always correct
when it woke up. Now the clock is always fast when it wakes up. It
appears to be proportional to how long it has been sleeping, as if the
clock were running consistently extremely fast while asleep, but I
haven't run any tests to see if it is reproducible. I've been fixing it
by restarting ntpd. I'm currently running kernel 2.6.10-1.741, but I've
had all of the kernel updates since FC3 came out. I can't say for sure
that the problem started with a kernel update, but it may have coincided
with the first 2.6.10 kernel.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
Noticed this as well. (with APM/600E). This is more pronounced with
Vmware.
[haven't looked at bugzilla yet to see if this is reported]
One workarround is to rebuild the kernel with HZ=100 instead of the
default HZ=1000 (CONFIG_X86_HZ flag is available for -ac kernels)
