I have an HP computer with an AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor. It has Fedora 13 on it. It continually reports the time incorrectly and gets further off(fast) as time goes by. I doubt this is a Fedora problem, but am not sure how to fix this and thought I'd ask here. I know how to reset the time, but want to know what can be done so there wouldn't be any need to do that. Thanks in advance.
There's a kernel option for clock=pit that might help. I.e., add the clock=pit to your kernel boot parameters then reboot.
Not sure if it applies here, but there are also lots of VMWare related messages about clocks. They have recommended using a different stepping algorithm to the kernel. If you google "Linux VMware clock" there are quite a few hits.
