I have recently built a new server using CentOS4. I've found one major oddity: time resolution is completely whacked.
I'm not using an external time source nor am I relying on NTP for time resolution. For some reason, time on this server moves forward at a far more rapid rate.
Right now, all my other systems show Sunday May 8, 3:19 pm. The CentOS server thinks its Monday May 9, 3:54 pm. I just reset it about four hours ago to the correct time.
I'm using an inexpensive eMachines T6212 AMD Athon 64 processor and 1 GB RAM.
Can anyone suggest a reason why this server thinks it's 25 hours in the future and growing more distant with each minute?
There have been reports of AMD64 machines revving their clock faster than normal, so you're not alone. Check the Fedora mailing lists as well.
