Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
Powerpc (mac mini) loses system time. This seems to occur when system in under network load (eg. upgrading edgy packages) even when ntpd is installed.
0002:20:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth 2 GMAC (Sun GEM) (rev 80)
0002:20:0f.0 0200: 106b:0032 (rev 80)
While downloading ntp loses sync (if long download)
For a short download - 1.2MB, 70-80 KB/s (approx 15sec download time)
Experiment:
Downloading - 1.2 MB file, rate 7-10 KB/s (approx 2m 45s)
ntp offset time - before | after | difference
ntp-server - 0.241897 | 1.50306 [1] | 1.25416 [2]
Notes:
[1] - Server lost sync during download
[2] - Two seconds difference seen another machine on the network with 'date' command.
I'm happy to try any other tests, if required as this has been a problem in dapper, and I'm still seeing it in edgy.
