Odd. Since updating my FC4 system's kernel a few days ago my system clock has been gaining time like mad.

cheers,

When I installed FC5, the clock began gaining a lot using the 2.6.16 kernels. I had no clock problems with FC4 using the kernels prior to 2.6.16. I found the problem to be my motherboard / chipset. I am using a MSI K7N2 motherboard with Nvidia nForce2 chipset. I found by disabling the FSB spread spectrum in the BIOS, the problem went away. If you have a Nvidia nForce2 chipset, you may want to test this work around.
