clock skew on B/W G3

Hi,

something between 2.6.13-git4 and 2.6.14-git5 makes my clock running ~20% 
slower. This problem still exists in current kernel versions. Sorry for 
reporting so late, but I hope it would go away while time passes...

As the subject says I have blue/white Apple G3/400. My config I attached.

Thanks

Marc

Some additions to the previous mail: I was able to isolate the problem to t=
he=20
introduction of a user specificable value of HZ (in include/asm-ppc/parm.h)=
=2E=20
I used a value of 250 while the former default was 1000. Setting it back to=
=20
1000 makes the clock tick right again.

Is the CONFIG_HZ known to be broken on PPC ?

Thanks

Marc
