Indeed, that almost sounds too good to be true :-) Couple of questions: 1. Could you please check in dmesg if hpet attaches normally now or still has an error? 2. Do you have to run ntpdate after each power-off or is everything OK after the first run? 3. Have you ever set time on this machine before (in BIOS, other OS, etc)? 4. Can you please double-check that lapic_allclocks is zero in kernel? You can run 'kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel /dev/mem' and then 'print lapic_allclocks' Thanks! -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
