Bug #604
Updated by cnb about 10 years ago
After a fresh install of 1.8.1-RELEASE on a system with ASUS P5A-B mainboard (ALI chipset), the clock runs twice as fast as normal. Booting with ACPI disabled solved this problem. The clock problem on some ATI chipsets was a problem in Linux some kernels ago too. The solution was triggered by clock=pit as bootarg if I remember right... maybe having a peek into Linux's code helps.
