VM-ware somtimes has annoying clock issues. If you are using a VMware supported Kernel on a VMware supported OS you should be able to 'install vmware tools' - run the RPM be ok. I am on Fedora Core 5. This is what I have to do. My VMWare machines have I have found that using VMWare server with the stock FC5 kernel works and vmware 1.0.1 works 'OK' as long as: -You install VMware tools on the guest os -You turn on the real time clock in the configuration of vmware tools -You change clock=PIT in the kernel boot -You only use one processor for the system. Your milage on this may vary depending on what kernel / vmware combination you are using. With two processor emulation I found the clock totally irradic, and the host system was telling me about soft lockups. I found that for most things one processor emulation works well enough. Here is what I do: install kernel-source/kernel-devel In vmware click 'install vmware tools' This creats a pseudo CD device that you have to mount ( I do not remember how) In the psuedo cd-rom device there are two files VMware-Tools-1.0.1-(version).rpm and the tar I RPM install the tar download vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz vmware-tools-any-update1.tar.gz tar -xf vmware-tools-any-update1.tar.gz tar -xf vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz cp vmware-tools-any-update/runme.pl vmware-any-any-update/runme.pl cd vmware-any-any-update perl runme.pl Set clock=pit in kernel config Reboot Still, I find if the system is very busy I have found the clock jumping a minute and then jumping back. I still run ntp sometimes against suggestion of vmware. Then again I am not on a supported OS.
