I installed CentOS 4.4 32 bit on a dual core AMD64 motherboad. Its a Tyan Tomcat K8E motherboard with socket 939. The clock keeps drifting off like 5+ minutes an hour. Run ntpupdate hourly to compensate.
Any ideas why or how to fix?
dunno why, but ntpd may be able to correct it.
# yum install ntpd # vi /etc/ntp.conf # chkconfig ntpd on # service ntpd start
all the conf file -needs- is a server line or two referencing some local-to-you NTP servers. check with your ISP to see if they have any if you're not already running your own.
