I'm getting a HUGE amount of drift in the system clock on my
BSDI BSD/386 1.1 system running on a P5/66. The clock seems to
be running at 1/6th speed (around 10 seconds pass on the system
for every minute that really passes) and it is making logging
and cron jobs useless. On reboot, the system time is reset
correctly, so it does not seem to be the hardware.
Is there some sort of patch to fix this problem? Thank you for
any suggestions or pointers!
-Robert
