Dr. Werner Fink
Thanks. I have not tried the new boot.clock and ntp.
It would be prefect if you would give the new boot.clock and the ntp package a try. The ntp package includes a change in the boto scipt which should correct the hardware clock before ntpd will be started. For this the new variables NTPD_FORCE_SYNC_ON_STARTUP and NTPD_FORCE_SYNC_HWCLOCK_ON_STARTUP have been added to /etc/sysconfig/ntp. The first option does force sync of the system clock and the second one also for the hardware clock. The change in boot.clock simply determines the real offset of the hardware clock to be able to detect an offset between system and hardware clock with more the 900 seconds. You may test this on the command line with TZ=UTC /bin/date +'%s' && cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch The frist command provides the system clock and the second will show the hardware clock on modern kernels.
