Comment 1 Jiri Ryska 2005-05-30 14:17:21 UTC
Is ntpd running? And if not, what kernel you have?
/sbin/service ntpd status
uname -r

Comment 2 Jonathan Underwood 2005-05-30 14:45:04 UTC
Oddly, this isn't reproducible every time. For example, check the following
session below. "ntpd dead but subsys locked" must be a big clue. Have seen these
issues with kernels 2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp and 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp.

[root@pasiphae jgu]# /sbin/service ntpd status

It should be duplicate of #154759. You can try this workaround:

For now I mark this as duplicate. If you disagree with duplicity
please reopen it again.
