When setting the hwclock correctly in the bios prior to booting, the system
boots successfully.
However, after the first boot the hardware clock is off again (it seems to be
reset to UTC during boot). In the booted system, "hwclock --localtime" gives
the wrong time, "hwclock --utc" shows the correct time - I would have expected
this to be the other way around when hwclock should be set to local time.
This triggers the bug on the next reboot.
Setting the hwclock manually ("hwclock --systohc") corrects the hwclock
setting, but this lasts only until the next boot, where hwclock is again being
set to UTC.
I tried setting
SYSTOHC="yes"
FORCE_SYSTOHC="yes"
USE_HWCLOCK="yes"
in /etc/sysconfig/clock as a workaround, hoping that this will call a "hwclock
--systohc" on reboot. While this would not fix the original issue, at least it
should be a workaround. However, the setting seems to be completely ignored.
I checked whether boot.clock service is active in yasts runlevel editor (it was
not), and manually activated it, however, this did not change the situation at
all. Note that I was never able to see the
"Set Hardware Clock to the current System Time"
message during shutdown that I would have expected to see from
/etc/init.d/boot.clock with the above settings.
Is there some log file where shutdown messages are being stored?
