vmware 2.0.2 server issue

[nyck]

Hello,

we have 1 image that has a definite problem with cpuspeed (which of course causes the clock/time synchronization problem. The linux running within this particular image is running at 20% speed compared to real-time, so 6 seconds in this linux is 30 seconds in real-time - has to be a problem with cpuspeed/clocking/Hz/??? - need help or ideas - could be something in Vmware image boot-strap?

This image works fine on two other Linux servers, the physical server in question has 32 CPU's & 256GB of RAM and has many other vmware instances running that are fine. So any suggestions as to what the issue could be would be great?

Cheers

Nick

It's actually a known issue. I heard about it a couple of years ago and there is a KB on it at VMWare's site.

Here is an article about it.

What version of Linux are you using?
