I believe I have something set up incorrectly with the real time clock.
This manifests itself most obviously in VMWare. I can sync the clock on the guest OS to the correct time, and in one minute of real time, the clock in the guest OS advances all of eight seconds (yes, in VMWare Tools, I do have the "Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system." box checked).
If I try to run an application in VMWare, I get a box that says:
"The host high-resolution timer device (/dev/rtc) is not available (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Without this device, the guest operating system can fail to keep time correctly. For more information, see http://www.vmware.com/info?id=34."
And I get this in my /var/log/messages:
May 22 00:00:00 system [1000]: /dev/rtc enable interrupt failed: -25
This is a reasonably modern computer, so I must have something configured wrong.

I tried disabling the HPET stuff, but then VMWare absolutely will not run at all. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance. |
