If there's clock drift going on, it's probably another problem. Can you double-check that 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq' outputs the same number as your 'cpuKHZ' setting in your config.ini file? Have you also tried make sure that the CPU speed is locked to a constant speed? (See http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=dis playKC&externalId=708 for help doing the latter - although it sounds like you may have already played around in our BIOS a little.) Hope this helps, -- Elliot
