I have a big problem with system clock. I noticed this some time ago... system clock is running crazy. Speed of clock is random and gains 2 hours advance after cca. 3 hours.

Do you have a file called something like - adjust time - ? I don't remember the exact name and location, use slocate and grep.

edit: try to mv /etc/adjtime to your root folder (just for backup), and please post results.

I just updated to a new kernel version, removed the adjtime file, and now everything seems OK.

Thx...

Just for the record, this (almost certainly) had nothing to do with the kernel.
