JoAnne talked me into turning off the apic in my kernel, and handheld me into getting ntp to run (I think) and I've set my tickadj back to the default of 10000, but I think thats going to have to come down, its a couple of seconds ahead of my watch in about 20 minutes. Do you have apic on in your kernel build? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
