p4ht time accelleration

[Tim Warnock]

Hi list,

i have a box running 2.4.24 (its been doing this since the box was put into
place on 2.4.21)

basically:

cat /proc/driver/rtc ; sleep 10; cat /proc/driver/rtc
rtc_time        : 20:13:50
rtc_date        : 2004-02-07
rtc_epoch       : 1900
alarm           : 00:00:00
DST_enable      : no
BCD             : yes
24hr            : yes
square_wave     : no
alarm_IRQ       : no
update_IRQ      : no
periodic_IRQ    : no
periodic_freq   : 1024
batt_status     : okay


rtc_time        : 20:13:53
rtc_date        : 2004-02-07
rtc_epoch       : 1900
alarm           : 00:00:00
DST_enable      : no
BCD             : yes
24hr            : yes
square_wave     : no
alarm_IRQ       : no
update_IRQ      : no
periodic_IRQ    : no
periodic_freq   : 1024
batt_status     : okay

the os time accellerates into the future but the rtc time stays normal...

is it software, hardware or what? i dont know. i dunno who to ask for
help hence the post...

the box is a p4ht 2.6 ibm think center

Could you further describe the system you are seeing the problem on?

Also, please send me your dmesg output.

thanks
