Thanks for all you do!
If ->*A*<- Robert implied the negativism above, it wasn't me.

No glitch in building, maybe a problem with the kernel and your
hardware ... we always have a kernel and a kernel-smp.
I've never been crazy about this m/b. For openers, there's the Adaptec 2940 card whose BIOS cannot be reached via <cntl-A> during POST, which could be a problem if the card did anything other than drive a scanner and a DAT drive.
There is also a new ntp in those updates.
Indeed. The behavior was so familiar that I tried the kernel first and got lucky. The new ntp works fine with the old kernel.
With 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL ntpd is clearly in trouble:

Has anyone else seen this?

I always run a ntpdate at startup against my time server then start the
ntpd service.  I am using the new smp kernel and ntpd on 3 machines and
it seems to be working. None of my machines are AMD though.
I think I might try pulling that SCSI card in the next day or so just because this m/b BIOS wants to ignore it.


Thanks again to all who responded.
