Tried booting with notsc - no change. I haven't noticed any drastic
clock shifts in the 2 or so months I've had this laptop and it doesn't
even use NTP like my other systems.
I've tried a bunch of kernels - I usually run a kernel version on both
my laptop and my test servers for a week or two before moving a new one
into production, so many kernel versions have been tried. It's probably
a .config option I've lost that did the trick with the
2.4.17-somebody's_patch. Perhaps it was ACPI. I'll mess around with
some kernels and module parameters tomorrow at work to try to track it
down. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious
before starting down that path.
