I learned that the clock kernel parameter is deprecated, it is now called clocksource. Still it is somehow gets ignored, and the kernel uses acpi_pm instead.
$ dmesg|grep clock Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 resume=/dev/sda2 rootdelay=1 ro vga=787 clocksource=pit Measured 18368 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock. Switching to clocksource acpi_pm
Look at this: $ cd /sys/devices/system/clocksource $ ls -F clocksource0/ $ cd clocksource0/ $ ls -F available_clocksource current_clocksource $ cat available_clocksource tsc hpet acpi_pm $ cat current_clocksource hpet Playing around here might help or give ideas. As far as I know, 'tsc' is a bad choice for a clocksource (not sure why or if I am even correct), but a good fallback when acpi_pm fails and hpet is unavailable. Under KVM, I have a special KVM clocksource which synchronizes with the host clock. Similarly on Xen.
