RE: Linux server time getting out of sync frequently.

I saw the same issue in my RHEL5 VM. I did synchronization using the
vmware-toolbox command but still the VM time differs from ESX server. I
saw the hwclock command provides the right time and its bcos of directly
reading from CMOS is it?

When I add the parameter clock=pit to grub.conf, hwclock returns
a wrong value :( can someone explain the use of this param?

Thanks,

not sure what to tell you...

have you tried :
One approach to a slow guest clock is to reduce the guest timer
interrupt
rate.

In a one-CPU virtual machine, add the following kernel command line
parameters to the guest:
* nosmp noapic nolapic

Okay, thanks for that, but yes, we already have those specified. I
haven't really looked at this problem for some time, maybe I should look
again.
