Re: [Xen-devel] Dom0 <> DomU clock sync

[Sébastien RICCIO <sr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I just tried to use ntpd in dom0. So far nothing changed.
The guests are still a couple of minutes behind the dom0.

Dom0 and DomU's are set to independent_wallclock 0.

Kernels are compiled from the sources included in Xen 3.1.

I don't know where to head next :))

Thanks for your help.
