I came across the same problem on rootbsd a few days ago, and set the TSC as the timecounter in /etc/sysctl.conf - I've since found it should be possible to also set kern.timecounter.smp_tsc=1 in /boot/loader.conf to let the TSC be chosen. The system's now been running for a day and I've not had any warnings about the clock going backward, and since the time has remained correct I guess Xen synchronises with the host? Should I still switch back to using the i8254? -- Bruce CranReceived on Fri Jul 16 2010 - 19:05:05 UTC
