Hello SuSe people,
Really strange.
Every time I reboot my computrer it loses 4 hours exactly. (I shut down every night and restart the folowing day) I can set the time exactly using an NTP server Running 10.3 64 bit and KDE3.
To test this, tonight wiith the exact time correct. I shut down and rebooted 3 times. Each time I rebooted it lost exactly 4 hours. A total of 12 hours. First time, 4 hours, Second time an additional 4 hours or eight hours total. Third time an additional 4 hours or a total of 12 hours.
After every corrrective reset I do an hwclock --systohc
Anyone, any ideas on what could be happening here?
Yep. Known thing. Curious that your time zone is -4 hours, eh? ;-)

It's old, but the remedy and cause is the same.
Hi Carlos, Yep, sure is curious. I read that how-to by you at least four times. I must be really thick or something. I think I have done everything you explained there. I have an adsl connection so once I am booted up it is a permanent connection but I shut down every night and reboot every evening. I never had to do a timeset except every couple of months because the PC kept pretty good time. And then I would do a manual correction and continue on my merry way for the next 3 or 4 months. I gave a pretty detailed explanation to Ingolf. Maybe you could check that out and tell me where I am screwing up. Thanks again.
