why time goes that fast

| Hi,
after install 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux in AMD64, I found
that the system time
goes twice speed of standard.
Can anyone tell how to fix it?
I've tried execute ntpd in root and modified /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Thanks

You've got a boot parameter screwed up. Verify this by running the
following command manually exactly ten seconds apart:
[compton ~]$ grep ' 0:' /proc/interrupts
0: 334061348 timer
[compton ~]$ grep ' 0:' /proc/interrupts
0: 334062331 timer
[compton ~]$
I missed slightly, but notice that there have been 1000 interrupts in
the ten second period, or 100 per second. Your kernel _MAY_ be compiled
for 1000 interrupts per second, in which case the difference in ten seconds
should be close to 10000.

And you didn't think to try using the search engine you posted from? By
the way, are you aware that there _are_ Linux newsgroups, and this
particular problem has been extensively reported there?

NTP is not designed to work with errors in excess of 200 parts per
million. Fix your boot parameters.
