Hi.

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.

Anyone, any ideas on what could be happening here?

(note the -0400). Maybe it is a problem with the configuration of your hardware clock (whether it runs at local time or at UTC). Do you boot "that other OS" in between.?
Hi Ingolf, Well it looks like the system clock runs on local time and it also looks like the ntp server is setting local time. I did this a little after midnight. (UTC -4)(Eastern Daylight Time) Easystreet:/ # ntpdate clock.isc.org 22 Oct 00:26:06 ntpdate[4625]: adjust time server 204.152.184.72 offset -0.123777 sec Easystreet:/ # hwclock --show ; date ; date -u Wed 22 Oct 2008 12:26:17 AM EDT -0.789944 seconds Wed Oct 22 00:26:16 EDT 2008 Wed Oct 22 04:26:16 UTC 2008 Easystreet:/ # hwclock --systohc Easystreet:/ # rm /etc/adjtime Easystreet:/ # I do have "that other OS" on a small drive but haven't booted it in over a year. And, I rebooted into the bios and the time was correct and then let it continue to boot into SuSE and lost four hours. Then rebooted into the bios and it showed the lost 4 hours, then let it finish booting into Suse and lost another four hours. Something in the start-up script?
