Try booting the guest with clocksource=acpi_pm on the kernel command

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/475598

It's an issue with KVM's paravirt clock. We have a workaround in the
rawhide host kernel which disables kvmclock support on affected hosts. A
real fix is in progress upstream.

The F-10 branch has the workaround, but only for the 2.6.29 builds. I
don't think we have it in the 2.6.27 updates (i.e. the
private-fedora-10-2_6_27 branch).

Chuck, could we get linux-2.6-kvmclock-unsync-tsc-workaround.patch
pulled into F-10?

I'm fully virtualised. I think. What's this about a paravirt clock in KVM?

fwiw my guest is Debian, with a 2.6.18 kernel.


<giggle>
I'm running virtualbox on a new HPDC5850 (AMD 4540B cpu, AMD chipset), Windows Server 2003, and on an Apple Leopard-based intellish laptop.

hdparm -t /dev/sda

checks out quite a bit faster on the laptop, both with Debian guests.
