From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.51 [en] Description of problem: When booting with kernel-2.6.8-1.521, ntpdate gives the following response: # ntpdate ntp.mydomain.xyz Looking for host ntp.mydomain.xyz and service ntp host found : ntp.mydomain.xyz ntpdate[2007]: no server suitable for synchronization found But running the previous kernel (2.6.7-1.494.2.2) on the same machine ntpdate works fine again. I read the workaround for wine on the announcement of the new kernel , but it didn't work with ntpdate. This occured on 3 different i686 servers on my test environment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.8-1.521, ntp-4.2.0-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2, kernel-2.6.8-1.521 and ntp-4.2.0-7 2.Boot with kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 and run ntpdate 3.Do the same with kernel-2.6.8-1.521 Actual Results: ntpdate stopped working. Expected Results: Date synchronization. Additional info:
Hello I uptate to same kernels and ntpdate 4.2.0@1.1161-r (I think it's original FC2) my time update script is: /usr/sbin/ntpdate -bu -t 3 world.std.com /sbin/hwclock --systohc this script works OK.
mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
