Thread-topic: more bizarre rtc behaviour...
I've posted before after noticing the "set_rtc_mmss: can't update from
70 to 15" messages. Today I ran 'hwclock' in a loop and noted the
following (see after email body)

Notice how, starting from :00 seconds, it counts forward 15 seconds (eg
:00 to :15), then jumps back 6 seconds (eg to :10), and keeps doing this
until it reaches :41, when it jumps forward 18 seconds.

As I type this now, it is 14:39 AEDT (+11), and the hwclock says 16:39.

NTP was not running whilst this data was gathered. Is there anything
about xen which interferes with hwclock in dom0? If not, then I guess it
is definitely a hardware problem...

Thanks

James
