Hi,

as a quick fix, you could handle your domU's independent from xen:

echo "jiffies" > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
echo "1" > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock

take a look at /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource to see which clock sources are possible.

cheers,

Stephan
