[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#426238: not any more the reported error, but not syncing anyway

Mon May 28 07:22:04 UTC 2007

good morning Kurt,

the 'kernel time sync error 0001' messages only appear *before* the
reboot with kernel 2.6.21 (May 27 18:04:20)...  previously I was running
2.6.18...  but the time resets needed are still out of control.

I assume that ntpd killed itself after the failing sanity check at
(May 28 03:44:53)

how can we exclude a hardware problem?
