Sorry but if I would change this to fix your problem this would open
an other bug. Please note that we are *enforced* to set the system
time *before* mounting the local file system.
Beside this: CMOS Clock != System Clock, that is running the CMOS clock
in UTC as reference clock is the common way for a normal system as the
local time is hold in System Clock as the later is set by hwclock(8)
automatically from the CMOS Clock to the correct local time. T his is
very simple and works perfect even with the switch from local Standard
Time to Daylight Saving Time and vice versa ... beside this on most
hardware out there it also works perfect with adjfile option of hwclock(8).
About Windows[tm] I can say nothing but most UNIX and Linux systems I
know do have the CMOS clock in UTC and the system time in local time
as these two clocks are fully different. Otherwise the adjfile option
of hwclock(8) to handle the variance of the CMOS clock would not make
any sense. But AFAIK (but never used) it is possible to run the CMOS
Clock in local time as long as hwclock(8) knows about(!) but this may
cause trouble at the switch from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time
and vice versa is used together with the adjfile option.
The problem of not having the informations of /usr/share/zoneinfo
and the binary /usr/sbin/zic in the boot system (e.g. /usr not mounted)
is a real problem and should be fixed. At least the timezone informations
of the local time should be stored in /etc/ and /usr/sbin/zic should
become /sbin/zic for e.g. s390.
Petr? Any comment about?
