| |
Ever since 1.3.x (0 <= x <= 35), my CMOS clock tends to loose ~4000 seconds per day when the machine is on, but it does not when the machine is off. This behaviour seems to be related to the kernel updating the CMOS clock while the system is running, but I can't see anything that would cause different behaviour from 1.2.13 (which didn't munge the clock). Perhaps some CMOS clocks are buggy when being updated? If someone who is more familiar with the kernel's timing code could shed some light on the subject, I'd be quite appreciative.
