today I installed a OEL 5.5 inside a guest on my OSol host and I am experiencing a really weird issue: one second inside the guests spans approx 7s in real time. So, when the guest starts up, there are several times when the boot process seems to have stalled, which is mainly when something is waiting for x seconds, before continuing - e.g. udev or ping. the date command also shows this behaviour. It seems to have something to do with the internal clock that seems to run extremely slow.
This is the config of that guest:
