NTP issues

Hi all,

I´m running Vmware Server 1.03 under Opensuse 10.1.
There are several VM´s running linux all keeping their time.

Only on VM ( Astaro V7 ) runs out of time - very slow.
What I´ve done is as follow.

1) in GRUB of the VM I added
"kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/root vga=819 splash=silent noapic nolapic nosmp"

2) in /etc/vmware/config
"host.cpukHz = 2009361
host.noTSC = TRUE
ptsc.noTSC = TRUE"

3) in .vmx file
"tools.syncTime = "TRUE""

I rebooted the VM but time runs slow as before...

Who can help me please.

Regards,

Alex

My problem is just the other way arround: The astaro clock runs too fast.

My base OS is Windows Server 2003.

Have you found a solution, yet?

Try adding "clock=pit" to the grub line

Thank you very much!

Meanwhile I've also found this topic which is addressing the same issue: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/91/t/66495
See bottom of the page.

I'll try both later this day.

Hi Lionking,

the change in the vmware configuration file doesn't seem to have helped.

I've done some further research with the help of your grub hint. The page where I found some more detailed instructions was on from Microsoft :-)
Well, here it is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918461/en-us

Unfortunately the change didn't help much. See the attached screen for the menu.lst. I added the entry to all startup profiles, but the clocked is still running away. Do you have any more tips?
