my kern.log & messages log are constantly flooded with these messages from real time clock (rtc)

Anyone have a clue as to how I would fix/filter them out of the logs?


Thanks..

No ideas eh?

If anyone ever comes across this, I have found a resolution. It's VMWare causing these error messages.

If I simple enter "host.useFastClock = FALSE" into /etc/vmware/config, it stops the message.
