Excessive clock drift on AMD Athlon prevents ntpd from synchronizing clock.
- by Curt Sampson
I've got an AMD Athlon XP-2500+ host running 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 (i686 2.6.31-20-generic kernel). Unfortunately, it appears that the clock drift on it is so bad (it advances close to an extra second every minute) that ntpd can't keep the machine in sync.
How do I deal with this so I can get ntpd working?
