OpenShift Origin TSC Error in virtualbox

I've been testing out OpenShift Origin (the Upstream) and running it on VirtualBox.  I've seen the following error during startup:

 [ 0.000000] Fast TSC calibration failed.

To resolve this I searched and found some posts telling me to change the 'Time Stamp Counter' (TSC) clocksource.


  1. Start by viewing available clocksources.
    • $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
    • $ cd /etc/default/ and edit the grub file to add the argument
      • clocksource=<name> to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX at end of line.
      • clocksource=acpi_pm (where acpi_pm was other option besides tsc)

  1. Reconfigure grub config with the following command. Verify system can reboot.

  2. #  grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
