Package: linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.21-4
Severity: important
File: kernel
I don't know if this is a hardware problem or a kernel bug. the
same hardware had served correctly for years, so I sincerely hope it's a
kernel bug...
I'm not sure when the problem started to display...
a crontab line for root runs ntpdate -q every single minute...
the drift looks more or less constant, until occasional jumps. these
jumps are coincident with some kernel logging...
here are the syslog lines, bracketed by the output of ntpdate:
...

are these kernel logs an other effect of the jumps, or are they closely related
to the cause?
maybe it's also relevant that I am running wmaker and that more or less
with the same frequency of these problems (maybe in coincidence?) I have
to restart the window manager because the keyboard stops working (but
the keys simulating mouse buttons 2 and 3 keep working).
