It appears to be a kernel bug, which RH was suffering from as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507834

hey guys,

really freaky issue i'm hoping you can diagnose. this is for a EG09 bestof running latest proxmox, with a centos fully virtualized container.

check "date" output on the VPS if i run it every 1-2 seconds:
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:46 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:57:08 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:48 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:57:10 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:49 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:49 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:57:11 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:50 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:57:13 GMT 2010
root@vps [~]# date
Fri Jan 1 21:53:51 GMT 2010

yep you're reading that right. it's alternating between two system times every second!

proxmox version info:

i've tried installing ntpd and try using ntpdate to reset the time. doesn't work, keeps switching back and forth between times.
