The mkinitrd script creates a clock warp setup if the CMOS clock is not in UTC for multi boot environments. With this the kernels assumption on the CMOS clock is corrected and the user space in initrd has its correct local time back. This is a hard precondition before running fsck on the root file system and mounting the root file system afterwards. Otherwise the time stamps are not correct.

Could the root of this bug be related to the default in /etc/sysconfig/boot: RUN_PARALLEL="yes" IIRC this seemed to be gone for a while, which may have coincided with setting that to "no" as a workaround to bug 665720.

It should be noted that no system around here has its CMOS clock in local time. Even the most private systems uses UTC in CMOS ;)

This would seem to be an obstacle to recreation and troubleshooting of problems on systems with CMOS clocks set to local. -- 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.
