I too have experienced this problem with -current. I'm running on a Thinkpad A21p,
but with a fairly out-of-date build (September 1, 2001).
This happens, I believe. because the kernel thinks the processor is running at one
speed and then that speed changes to reflect different power management settings.
For example, if I configure BIOS APM to clockdown the processor on battery and run
full-throttle on AC power.
My clock runs smoothly on battery (the condition I booted in), but when I engage the
AC the clock runs a few times faster than normal. I can control this condition simply
adding and removing AC power and having the BIOS APM react. It is clear: the
processor speed is not held constant and this produces the behavior you mention.
Some data points:
Right after boot ntptimeset reports: Your clock is off by -4.4654581 seconds.
(131.215.225.254) [48/47]
Some minutes later: Your clock is off by -1710.9709441 seconds. (131.215.225.254)
[37/36]
Anyways, my dmesg is attached.
