Hi,
I have a problem with too fast clock in dom0.
The clock is 3-4times faster than 'real' clock.
In users list I got an advice suggesting that it is a hw bug. But I have no other problem with the hw and I hope it is a xen bug (or my misconfiguration) and it can be fixed or workarounded.

It happens on a notebook compaq evo N115 (Duron 996MHz).
On my desktop with similar configuration there is no problem (xm dmesg attached for both).

I tried to locate the bug myself but with no luck :( Could you please suggest some hints where
to start debugging?
