Well my nforce2 worked with 2.6.8 and earlier, and I believe it was even fine with 2.6.10 and 2.6.11, but certainly 2.6.12 ran rather awful time sync wise, and 2.6.14 appears so far to be running a little fast, although I can't say for sure. It is much better than 2.6.12 was. It may be that 2.6.14 is running correctly, but that the previous drift has caused something to need to be realigned. > Hmm. Check bug #5038 to see if sounds familiar. > http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5038 I was seeting WAY more drift than that with 2.6.12. Len Sorensen
