I'm using 2.6.20.7-rt8 on a P3.
But some ntpd users have reported the problem with mainline kernels and
different versions.
I've noticed that the frequency offset of my system clock (computed
either by ntpd, or by hand) changes drastically across reboots.
By drastically, I mean +/- 60 ppm every time I reboot.
Apparently this is caused by some imprecision in the frequency
estimation done in calculate_cpu_khz() (arch/i386/kernel/tsc.c)
My brutally crude work-around was to skip the computation altogether and
hard-code the "correct" value for cpu_khz.

Has this issue been investigated more thoroughly by other users?
Regards.
