Description Vivek Goyal 2009-02-26 14:27:59 UTC

Description of problem:

One particular powerpc machine (ibm-l4b-lp1.test.redhat.com) shows clock skew with rhel4.8 kernels which leads to failure of some of rhts tests.

http://rhts.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/test_list.cgi?test_filter=/kernel/drivers/3rd-party&result=Fail&rwhiteboard=kernel%202.6.9-82.EL%20largesmp&arch=ppc&jobids=48075

Needs to be investigated why are we seeing clock skew on this machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
82.EL

How reproducible:
Noticed it twice so far.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
No clock skew

All,

 Retesting /kernel/drivers/3rd-party on ibm-l4b-lp1.test.redhat.com with
kernel 2.6.9-90.EL:
 http://rhts.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/jobs.cgi?id=178167

 Kernel 2.6.9-90.EL installed and /kernel/drivers/3rd-party was run on 
ibm-l4b-lp1.rhts.eng.rdu.redhat.com without issue 5x. The results look good.

Best,
-pbunyan
