(In reply to comment #13)
The process is by booting following: The system reads the hwclock and take a look at /etc/sysconfig/clock for hwclock state. Is it UTC sets the hwclock time to kernel time. Is it localtime calculates the UTC from hwclock time using the time zone given in /etc/localtime and sets the so calculated UTC to the kernel time.
And what is the mkinitrd call for? To save /etc/sysconfig/clock and /etc/localtime in to initrd During boot, you already know that hwclock is in localtime (this is written in /etc/sysconfig/clock) and /etc/localtime was set by YaST after changing the time zone. Setting the time is happened before the / is mounted.
