However, I do have one more observation about another problem that may have caused this bug to surface. It appears that /etc/adjtime is created every time the system boots, regardless of the following code fragment in /etc/init.d/boot.clock: if test ! -s /etc/adjtime ; then echo "0.0 0 0.0" echo "0" echo "UTC" fi > /etc/adjtime rtc_rule /sbin/hwclock $HWCLOCK --adjust There are 2 problems here: a) "test ! -s /etc/adjtime" seems to fail, prompting the creation of the file regardless of whether it exists or not. b) why is hwclock called with --adjust? It is at this point that --hctosys should be used to give the newly started system a "ball-park" value for current time, taking into account /etc/adjtime. The current mechanism, relying on initrd booting is tremendously counter-intuitive. -- 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.
