This is a kernel problem. Uptime is basically jiffies, and at 100 Hz it wraps in 497 days Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ Looks like this fell off the cracks and has not been fixed yet. http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1780 that report is against fc1 which was 2.4 based. all 2.6 kernels have this fixed. |
