be sure you carefully read the pdf that was provided...

in the situation where i was involved... we had a number of guest linux OS
boxes running on top of vmware. the boxes would lose serious amounts of

but make sure you carefully look over the pdf doc..

Yup, already done that. We've had our 'time' problems with vmware for
well over a year now (getting near 2 I should say). As mentioned
initially the only solution we haven't tried is rebuilding the kernel,
the only one we have found that does work is to use ntpdate via cron. I
passed the problem to our people maintaining the ESX servers, and they
contacted vmware about it (we have a support contract). They referred us
to the PDF doc, but as we pointed out the solutions in it still didn't
work. As might be expected, rebuilding the kernel was suggested :-)
