I am having great difficulty to maintain guest OS time. Here is my

Hardware: Intel Woodcrest processor.
Xen: 3.0.3
Xen OS: Red Hat Enterprise 4 Update 3, x86_64 version
Guest OS: configuration is pretty standard. Please see the end of email.
Guest OS: Red Hat Enterprise 4 Update 3, x86_64, with everything
installed, ntpd not running.
/proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock = 0
/proc/sys/xen/permitted_clock_jitter = 10000000
NTP should run out of Dom0: that seems to correctly set NTP for all DomU's.
Do not run independent, local hardware clocks, if you can reasonably
avoid it. Seriously: I'm afraid the kind of time drift you're seeing is
typical for overclocked, overheated, low quality motherboards with clock
chips purchased at an "OEM discount" from the back of somebody's bicycle
in Taiwan. Unfortunately, I've seen too much of that kind of hardware in
use for Beowulf clusters.
