My Centos 5 VM is drifting time.
I have scoured different answers to solve this problem.
I've looked at the VMWare's tips and added tinker panic 0 on top of my ntp.conf file. I also changed the kernel parameters to:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 notsc divider=10 clocksource=acpi_pm
It worked for a while and then I recently restarted my machine and it is back to its old ways again. I'm not sure how to make it work again even though I followed the same procedure as last time.
Any ideas?
Here is how my ntpq -pn looks like:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

I feel like a complete moron. Just realized I was loading the wrong default kernel on grub and the grub options had a misspelling in one of the values. I fixed it now and it is working...
For those who are curious, I mispelled:
