Hmm. Ok, so network wise you seem to be communicating with the server
without an issue. The other reasons for a reject condition are sync-loop
(your NTP server isn't synced to your box I'd assume), or your host is
drifting too severely from the NTP server for ntpd to compensate.
Attached is a cruddy python script I wrote that should provide you with
your ppm drift from your server.
To run:
o Disable ntpd
o Run "./drift-test.py <server>"
o Let it run for 10 minutes to get a decent drift value.
Ok. First I purged (remove the config files and binary) the adjtimex
installation. Then I rebooted with the old 2.6.8 kernel and watch the
first 5 polls of ntpd:

So with 2.6.8 this machine have a working ntpd. Now I stopped ntpd and
used your script with the server 10.0.0.1:

After, I rebooted the machine with the 2.6.14 kernel and watched the
first 5 polls of ntpd:
ntpq> pe

As before, the ntpd is not working properly with the 2.6.14 kernel. Now
I stopped ntpd and used your script with the 10.0.0.1 server:
03 Nov 02:54:56 offset: -0.008247 drift: -4236.0 ppm
03 Nov 02:55:56 offset: -0.828716 drift: -13519.7540984 ppm

Interresting! So if I understand correctly the ntpd problem is because
the kernel 2.6.14 kernel show a drift about 100 time bigger than with
the kernel 2.6.8 on the same hardware. For information the mainboard is
the MSI K7N2 (nForce 2). Here is the cpuinfo in case that matter:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 10
model name : AMD Athlon(tm)
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 2004.860
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge

So this could to be something after the 2.6.12. All machines run the
same version of ntpd and use the same configuration file.
Would you mind confirming 2.6.12 does not have the issue on the same
hardware?
The kernel 2.6.12 run on a different hardware and is not configured to
work on the hardware that have the problem with 2.6.14, so I can't
confime exactly your question yet. If you don't have any better idea, I
can try several kernel version to find when the problem start. But I
will make that after I sleep because I you look at the time field into
the test result this is very late now for me...
Thanks for you support, I hope we will quicky find to solution.
