Hi friends!
I just have a new system setup for my old FreeBSD installation,
version 6.4, the old hard disks are installed in the new system.
I find that it has serious timer issues.
When it boots with kernel without SMP (because the old system is
UP), the timer is very slow, system response is poor, the
interrupt rate of clock is about 6xx. Then I build a new kernel
with SMP option and run with it, the timer seems correct,
the interrupt rates of clock for each CPU rise to 19xx. But
when I run ntpd, it always keeps at stratum 16, with precision at
-19. I run openntpd instead, and it always keeps out-of-sync with
1 to 2 seconds.
Does anyone has similar problem with me?
My system:
M/B: Asus M3A78-EM
CPU: AMD Athlon 5050e (EFamily: 0 EModel: 6 Family: 15 Model: 107 Stepping: 2)
NIC(on-board): re0 (needs Pyun YongHyeon
's patched driver to work)
NIC(PCI): rl0
HDD: two Seagate IDE disks
dmesg.boot is attached.
Thanks,
