Howdy,
I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help. I used kickstart for creating this VM and I am listing important steps in ref to timekeeping issue. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated.
The knowledgebase article referenced in the VMWare Server wiki article:
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006427
is the best source as far as I can tell. This is because VMWare keep the contents up-to-date. As suggested in there, you may want to try the 5.4 kernel -164 (already available for CentOS) without using clocksource or divider= options. This kernel has patches that were offered by VMWare developers to address the time drift issues.
