I took an older machine (HP Vectra, P2-450, 128M, 10G, eth0=dfe530tx+, eth1=3c905b) and did a fresh install of FC1 on it. I ran up2date and applied all fixes. The system appears to work fine except that the system time keeps jumping to approximately 4 hours before the current time. This happens whether or not ntpd is running. hwclock is fine. I tried setting the system to time to current time +4 hours. The next occurrence still went back to current time -4 hours. The only pattern I see in syslog is that the jump always appears to occur when a message like the following appears: Apr 14 11:52:55 shoal kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 (This msg is always the first one with the incorrect time.) Anyone have any ideas? -- Jim Lemke jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx Orillia, Ontario FWD# M:245401 H:246889 1992 ST1100, STOC #3750 COG #2637 Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
