New kernel slows down clock



Hi!

I am using 2.6.21.5 on a AMD K6-2

Since I updated from 2.6.8-24 to 2.6.8-24 some strange things happend.

I have a script which beeped when I dial into the net:
for tone in 295 328 349 393 440 491 524 ; do
echo -en "\033[10;${tone}]\a" > /dev/tty9
usleep 125000
done

The usleep is much longer that before (2.6.8)

Another problem is the clock. It is dropping time, a lot of seconds in 5
minutes.

I think, there are some wrong options in my .config.
.
