Hi,

After installing 4.0B three days ago, I've noticed that my system time
is slowly drifting away and xntp refuses to sync to our time server.
This is on an Aspen Alpine EB64+ motherboard.

This morning, I found that time about 30 minutes late!! After I've
reset to the correct time with "ntpdate" and running the system
for about 8 hours, the time is already about 7 seconds away from the
time server's time again:

xntpdc> peers
     remote local st poll reach delay offset disp
=======================================================================
=finwds01.tu-gra 129.27.138.63 16 1024 377 -0.0009 7.294414 3.35039

and xntpd refuses to synchronize with lots of

Previous time adjustment didn't complete

messages in the syslog.

Question: Has anyone already stumbled accross this? Any cure or
ideas what could cause that?

Thanks a lot -- Tom

P.S: Maybe its completely irrelevant but my processor should have 275MHz
     but startup messages in UERF say:

     Alpha 21064A Evaluation Board 274 MHz_system

     should I care about that?
