| |
Is there any possibility that something in 2.4.18-pre3-ac2 might be missing up the CMOS clock on my machine (SuperMicro S2DGU motherboard) where 2.2.19+IDE wasn't?
I'm asking because two odd things started happening recently: (1) my clock started drifting a lot (i.e., ntpd is resetting it frequently) and (2) I kept getting BIOS errors during boot about the CMOS clock being unset.
I assumed that the problem was caused by a dead clock battery, so I replaced the battery. But it just happened again.
This leaves me with three guesses for what may be causing the problem: (1) something different about the kernel I started running recently; (2) something different about Red Hat Rawhide software I just installed on my machine; or (3) a broken motherboard.
I'd like to try to eliminate (1) or (2) as a possibility before trying to get SuperMicro and/or the company that sold me the computer to say anything useful about (3) :-).
