Hi,
I'm too having problems with suse time setting going sometimes way foo (6
hours is last record).
What do you mean to repeat adjustment at boot. Should I run :
"hwclock --systohc"
and remove /etc/adjtime
on every boot ?
Thanks,
Robert.

now i notice on booting that linux hangs on the real time clock entry for about a minute before it continues, no warning message, etc. thoughts?

Hi John,
I am running dual boot also.
What I do is go into M$ and roughhly adjust the time using their control system. (I had to do it for daylight savings time.)
Then I go back into Linux, and open up a link to an offiical time site (eg: http://www.time.gov/ )
and then set the time off the command line as root, eg:
"date --set 14:55:25"
the above will set the system time to 14:55:25; then I do:
"hwclock --systohc"
so that system time is copied to the cmos chip;
and then do:
"rm /etc/adjtime" (all w/o quotes)
so time adjusting scripts don't think that the clock was slow or fast, and repeat the adjustment automatically on boot.
This question is often asked. See for a longer explaination Carlos' post:
