Reboot Actual Results: The clock is set to old TZ Expected Results: The clock should use the new TZ Workaround: run as root /sbin/refresh_initrd There was a similar problem with the HWclock and UTC: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538357 And it seems that the yast modul clock is still not running the command /sbin/refresh_initrd which is defined in cat /etc/sysconfig/clock [...] ## Command: /sbin/refresh_initrd -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So the initrd hast still the old timezone. As already said, running refresh_initrd pulls the new /etc/timezone into the initrd and everything is fine again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In 11,3, YaST calls directly mkinitrd but only when clock is --localtime and time was manually changed. Werner, what is the correct solution again? Should it be enough if YaST timezone would call refresh_initrd always at the end? Instead of mkinitrd under above conditions? Or was the 11.2 situation different than 11.3? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, I do have one more observation about another problem that may have caused this bug to surface. It appears that /etc/adjtime is created every time the system boots, regardless of the following code fragment in /etc/init.d/boot.clock: if test ! -s /etc/adjtime ; then echo "0.0 0 0.0" echo "0" echo "UTC" fi > /etc/adjtime rtc_rule /sbin/hwclock $HWCLOCK --adjust There are 2 problems here: a) "test ! -s /etc/adjtime" seems to fail, prompting the creation of the file regardless of whether it exists or not. b) why is hwclock called with --adjust? It is at this point that --hctosys should be used to give the newly started system a "ball-park" value for current time, taking into account /etc/adjtime. The current mechanism, relying on initrd booting is tremendously counter-intuitive. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
