Booted ~8 year old Dell (BIOS) PC to Grub menu prior to 2AM.
I guess we can assume that this issue does not depend on hardware.
Local time reverted to 1AM at 2AM before I proceeded with a Grub selection.
Which time zone? RTC running at local time or UTC?
Local, as all machines on LAN over which any choice is possible.
Selected 42.3 in Grub and proceeded to boot.
Logged in only after more than an hour passed, after 3AM local standard time.
Firstly, bugzilla may be a better forum to file this bug, although I admit you hit a pretty unusual bug.
If there even is a bug here.
Secondly, could you fiddle with your RTC to reproduce the issue? If we can test for this issue only once a year we have a problem.
I'm at a loss to imagine how to include any NTP server component, if it's relevant, which I would not expect given that most of the Internet and probably all public NTP servers run on UTC. OTOH, I'm having brainlock over when to boot vis a vis when to change the RTC and in which direction. Maybe this needs to wait until I can better concentrate, not too easy lately.
Checked to see time correct.
Rebooted to get an extra SATA HD online on the main ICH8 bus.
So the issue occured only after the second reboot? The first one was normal?
IIRC, yes.
During init, all (EXTx) partitions mounted on the previous boot required e2fsck, significantly delaying opportunity to login. :-(
For something to be done on this bug report, it needs to be reproduced, entered into bugzilla and a manual run of fsck with full debugging output would help a lot.
It's been a very long time since I've had debug rpms installed anywhere. Do I even have room?
