Hello, I am got this issue on several (10+) Xen 4.0 servers without HVM:
linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 2.6.32-29~bpo50+1 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs, Xen dom0 suppor xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 4.0.1-1 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64 Each times there is this strange "50min" : Nov 4 13:33:55 kernel: [591694.109052] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660340870 ns) Nov 16 19:04:27 kernel: [102888.814677] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660352101 ns) Nov 28 08:16:52 kernel: [2671840.236281] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660333313 ns) Nov 29 08:59:54 kernel: [171581.195202] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660341178 ns) Dec 8 12:58:09 kernel: [3108143.298526] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660353020 ns) Dec 27 02:34:16 kernel: [1012551.748589] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660334211 ns) Jan 12 09:12:53 kernel: [6537645.820016] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660339286 ns) Jan 28 11:04:54 kernel: [5352834.035048] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660330184 ns) Feb 9 21:04:03 kernel: [6415408.244988] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660342333 ns) Feb 10 04:19:24 kernel: [4306193.416722] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660332510 ns) after that ntp in Dom0 fails with : ntpd[6834]: time correction of -3000 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); set clock manually to the correct UTC time Same things with ntp in domU. I didn't have this kind of issue with Xen Lenny. Regards Olivier
