Hello.

I have a problem with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE in VmWare Server on Windows
2003 host.

Time is a hour slow for a day.

I have hint.apic.0.disabled=1 in loader.conf
I've tried all possible values in kern.timecounter.hardware.
Nothing helps.

I've found it's not only my problem:

ntpd does not help. I think because it's too rude time for NTP.

Any hints please.
I have same problem under MS Virtual Server R2. I did not find any way
how to solve this. Instead, I worked around this using ntpdate every
five minutes in cron job and I also set kern.hz=2000 in
/boot/loader.conf which helps a little bit.

We're using VMware hosted on Linux with FreeBSD as guest with this
lines in /etc/vmware/config:

---
host.cpukHz = "3000000" # Adjust this line to your cpu speed!
host.noTSC = "TRUE"
ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"
---

and vmware-tools installed with the following line in the FreeBSD .vmx:

---
tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
---

This is the best combination we tried to solve this problem.


Hi, I also noticed this, and the above thread, but I ended up solving it by setting HZ to 100 in the guest.

Ta,
