Could you look for the comment in src/sys/i386/isa/clock.c that says: /* Should we set dow = -1 because some clocks don't set it correctly? */ and add a line afterwards to say: ct.dow = -1; and see if that helps? > I see your patch and it shouldn't do that.

I think that without the patch, the clock is initialised using a chunk of uninitialised memory on the stack, which could result in all sorts of random values being used. With the patch, things may be a little more deterministic. David.Received on Thu Jul 12 2007 - 06:51:37 UTC
