And even if you de-synchronize the hardware clock by hand ... how should the kernel know about your change and how should the kernel make a guess about the choosen time zone of your hardware clock. That is that synchronization of the ticks of hardware clock and system clock its self had not changed. At startup the kernel assumes UTC as its system clock is always in UTC. If the hardware clock is not in UTC you have to specify the time zone offset which is done in /etc/sysconfig/clock (HWCLOCK="--localtime") and executing mkinitrd. This because the warpclock utility in initrd will inform the kernel about the time zone of the hardware clock *before* the any file system is touched e.g. for a file system check and mounting the root files system. -- 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.
