Hi guys, I'm trying to get a vmware server up and running in a Debian 4.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 rack server, but I have some problems with RTC.
Symptoms: - When running "hwclock", Debian says "select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out". - When starting a guest host on vmware-server in Debian, I get about 3500/sec log messages about "rtc: lost some interrupts at 2048Hz". Some times it changes to 1024 or 4096. Attempted solutions: - Changed HWCLOCKPARS in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh to "--directisa", didn't solve. - Rebuilt kernel with Hz set to 100 and 1000, both didn't solve. - Tried the 2.6.23 kernel, didn't solve. One solution that I've found on google is to just switch to Ubuntu Server, but I don't want to do that, as Debian is the required spec for our vmware servers here. Please help, I'm desperate! PS. Please CC all mails to me, as I'm not a member of the list. Kind regards, Dak.
