I spent close to 2 weeks debugging time drift problems and tried *everything*. The problem turned out to be a harddrive that was not using DMA transfers.
run "hdparm /dev/hdX" on any/all drives that you are using and make sure none of them say: using_dma = 0 (off) My problem was that I had onboard RAID that I was using as 4 IDE channels. Two of them were VIA and the other two Promise. I only had the Promise driver in the kernel, so drives that were connected to the VIA channels were running without DMA support. Once I added that driver, I was gold. Hope this helps! - Jeff On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 13:09:58 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Justin Walther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 2005/01/12 Wed AM 09:55:54 EST > > To: Discussion about mythtv <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] OT: NTP does not seem to be updating... > > > > This is being caused by SELINUX crap.
