 Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 7:11 pm Post subject: Clock goes twice fast as a normal one |
 |
|
Ok, my problem is that my system's clock goes twice as fast as a normal one, which is really odd. and I do not have NTP or any other installed.
edit: Ok, I realised that most of the things are x2 faster than usually, like Xine when I tried to play a movie, the framerate were faster, and amarok plays songs too fast too.
/etc/conf.d/clock
| Code: | # /etc/conf.d/clock
# Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your system clock is set to UTC (also known as
# Greenwich Mean Time). If your clock is set to the local time, then
# set CLOCK to "local". Note that if you dual boot with Windows, then
# you should set it to "local".
CLOCK="UTC"
#CLOCK="local"
# If you wish to pass any other arguments to hwclock during bootup,
# you may do so here.
CLOCK_OPTS=""
# If you want to set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time
# during shutdown, then say "yes" here.
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no"
### ALPHA SPECIFIC OPTIONS ###
# If your alpha uses the SRM console, set this to "yes".
SRM="no"
# If your alpha uses the ARC console, set this to "yes".
ARC="no"

| Which kernel version ? You can try to upgrade to 2.6.15, they fixed a few "fast clock" problems. Also which CPU and chipset (ATI chipsets have weird interrupt routing problems, and Athlon X2 CPUs have unsynced TSCs, both of which can cause strange clock problems) ? |

I had the same problem some time ago, I compiled the drivers into kernel, not as modules, then it worked.
Now I have 2.6.14-hardened-r5.. so prolly should update it today.
edit:
The kernel update did not work,
uname -a
2.6.15-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 14:36:21 EET 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |

I have this problem on a Compaq Presario v2405.
Although a BIOS flash is available to address this problem, I've just been appending noapic to my kernel options and that has fixed it. No need for me to flash. |

I have noapic, but it's not helping  |

I have this problem with Unreal Tournament when I enable Cool'n'Quiet. The CPU first runs at 1000 MHz, then the game starts, it does some kind of timing still using the 1000 MHz clock, and then when the clock is increased, UT suddenly speeds up enormously.
Does disabling Cool'n'Quiet help? If you have the "performance" governor compiled in your kernel, you can do:
| Code: | | echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor |
Which will set the CPU at max speed at all times.

I use NTP, so I don't know if I suffer from this with my X2, but is there a fix for it? Perhaps, solving my UT problem as well? |

I used "disable_timer_pin_1" as grub's parameter, that works too.
I have Athlon64/Opteron |

Kernel 2.6.15 already has the fix (using ACPI PM timer instead of TSC for kernel timekeeping). For older kernels, you can add "notsc" to the kernel parameters. |

I have kernel 2.6.15, so I guess I'm OK.
BTW, in case anyone was wondering, it doesn't fix my UT problem  |
