Ok, here is what I have figured out after multiple installs.
 
32 bit eDir 8.8.3 w/ftf2 runs fine on 64 bit SLES 10 SP2!
 
64 bit eDir 8.8.3 w/ftf2 on 64 bit SLES 10 SP2 has problems with ring sync as described in early posts.

New 8.8.3 ftf2 server on 64 Bit SLES 10 SP2 running on a Dell 2850 (Not a VM), tree is a mix of 8.7.3.10ftf1 and 8.8.2, masters are on all  on a single 8.7.3.10ftf1 SLES 10 box.

kernel is: 2.6.16.60-0.33-smp #1 SMP Fri Oct 31 14:24:07 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On this new box any replica I add, iMon reports  -Local Replica issued future time -0:01:06  (this time drifts up and down but always stays negative) and it never goes green but all other servers with a copy of the replica report no errors. Partition Continuity is good as seen in ConsoleOne and I have no problem adding and removing replicas. Server time is in sync and time through the tree looks in sync.

I have even tried with the local clock stuff commented out, with using the clock=pit kernel parameter from TID 3858673 and have tried pointing straight to the public ntp pool. Nothing ever changes. 

Could I have bad hardware or is there a big in eDir?
