I'm running a CentOS 4.4 VM on a Windows XP host with VMware Server,
and have the problem that my clock runs too slow (it happens in
VMware Workstation as well). It loses between 30 and 45 seconds
every minute! This is a known problem and can be fixed by adding
"nosmp noapic nolapic" to the boot command according to VMware tech
note ID 1420. However, despite adding these options as well as some
others (acpi=off pci=noacpi clock=pit) and turning off a bunch of
daemons (cpuspeed, irqbalance, etc.) I still have a slow clock. Here
are the daemons that are still enabled:

Has anyone else come across this problem and if so, did you find a
way to fix it? This is the last issue that is preventing me from
distributing this VM to users.
Thanks,
Alfred
