I am having a problem with 8.2 not keeping time. Each time I boot, it has gained or lost several seconds. There is no consistency with the amount, and it is altering the bios clock. For example, as test, I set the bios clock accurately and booted 8.2. The KDM clock was 9 seconds fast, so I rebooted. This time it was 22 seconds fast. I re-set the clock in KDE and rebooted. Again it was several seconds fast (6 seconds this time), and it had altered the bios clock to its setting. It is only 8.2 which has done this. I have not come across this problem before in any earlier versions. Also I am running the latest Mandrake to look at that distro. It keeps perfect time, as does Windows98 (which I specially blew the cobwebs off to try!) Finally, I reinstalled SuSE8.1 on a spare hard drive, and that keeps perfect time. So it is only 8.2 which doesn't. I have each distro on its own hard drive. Each drive is in a tray and I plug into the computer whichever tray (operating system) I want to use. So the test conditions are the same. Has anyone else this problem with 8.2? It's infuriating having to re-set the time each time I boot it - which can be several times a day as I don't leave the computer on when I am not using it.. Cheers Keith
