First of all, hello to everybody.
I'm a new openSuSE user, but not new at linux, at least as an hobbyst.
I was very interested in the "1-click-installation" feature and so I installed
openSuSE 11.0 from the live CD. Then I was really annoyed by this same bug: at
each reboot, my system time was delayed by two more hours (4 hours after 2
reboots, 6 hours after 3 reboots ...).
My hardware clock is set to local time, since once in a while I have to use
WindowsXP ... My local time is CEST, so it is GMT+2.
With a working ntp server the system time goes good, but sometimes my ADSL
connection is quite slow to start up and so it takes several minutes before the
ntp server can connect and synchronize.
I tried some search in this bugzilla and in the forums and I found out other
people with this problem but no complete fix
(http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/388755-wrong-clock-11-0-a-3.ht...).
After some tries I found out that probably the problem is due to the fact that
/sbin/hwclock, as called by the boot.clock script, needs access to data stored
in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory. Note that my /usr directory is stored in
a different partition and that partiton is not mounted till after the
boot.localfs script is called and has completed its procedure. Without parallel
booting it is sufficient to call boot.clock just after boot.localfs, but with
parallel booting boot.clock is still called before the /usr partition is
mounted. As I like parallel booting, as a temporary fix I copied
/usr/share/zoneinfo in the / directory.
BTW, I see in the boot.clock script the line "#X-Start-Before: boot.localfs",
so it seems that boot.clock must be called after boot.localfs: can somebody
explain why ? And fix the problem that we have found?
P.S. I promise to be less verbose next time, but I've been involved for so much
time with this bug ... ;-)
