I just noticed this in /config/tmm_base.tcl:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

if { [string compare $platform "C36"] == 0 } {

 

scheduler::rtc_frequency 2048

 

scheduler::sleep_range 122070 1000000

 

} elseif { [string compare $platform "Z99"] == 0 } {

 

scheduler::sleep_range 1000000 1000000

 

VirtualBox has a disagreeable LAPIC. Workaround by using the RTC

 

if { [ file exists "/var/run/VirtualBox" ] } {

 

scheduler::rtc_frequency 256

 

scheduler::use_rtc true

 

} else {

 

scheduler::rtc_frequency 1024

 

scheduler::use_rtc false

 

}

 

}

and this in dmesg:

So on Xen you might want to touch /var/run/VirtualBox
