calcru: runtime went backwards

[Juanitou]

Reinstalling the system with i386 ``solved'' the problem though ...

That's an old thread, but for what is worth, I started seeing those calcru messages when I upgraded from 9.0 to 9.1-RELEASE amd64. They appeared after suspend/restart cycles. I tried all the proposed solutions without success, then I reinstalled the system with i386 (trying to resolve issues with ATI drivers and/or Wine, but that's another story) and I've never seen them again.

I hope it gives an indication of where the problem can be.

Best regards,
Juan

I have exactly the same problem on my 9.1 based machine running in a KVM environment. I tried all of the things mentioned in this thread:

• sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254
• sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC (not possible, not supported by my hardware)

• kern.hz="100"

  in /boot/loader.conf

• debug.acpi.disabled="timer"

  in /boot/loader.conf
• Other NTP servers

None of these helped. Installing the whole server is not really an option. Any other ideas, maybe KVM-related? I am out of ideas here

I think it is KVM related. I am running 9.1 i386 on KVM and still see that every now and then.
