I wrote "alleged time shift" because there is no timeshift

ntp is - of course ;-) - up and running and no other applications
have time troubles and I've even disabled the local clock as a time
reference.
Of course you know not to use ntp on VMs, only on the host, right?

heh, ok, ship hit an sunk :-)
I was absolutely not aware of a "clocksource" kernel parameter, what a
weird thing ...

So I'll give clocksource=acpi_pm a chance and see how it turns out ...
So for the sake of other peoples' nerves also facing this problem, the
solution was to add "divider=10" as a kernel boot parameter.
There is an good post about this problem here:

and this also leads to this document for VMWare giving an indication of
