This is probably a hardware issue, but I need to see how to investigate:
I run SUSE 10.0 and 10.1 on various computers. Usually, we set it up so that the computer time is set to UTC, and we then state where we are in the world.
On many machines, we have a problem where the time seems to get screwy between boots. It is usually the time of day more than the date. The error seems to be random. Not just the hour. But the minutes as well.
So, we then tried setting the computer to local time, informing SUSE of this. Same problem.
I am guessing that the motherboards have some issues. They are all rather new and made by SuperMicro. I am not sure if they are all the exact same model (I am checking).
How could I get SUSE to record what the hardware time was when it boots, before making any changes, and then what it is after any changes? Same thing on power down. I guess this is tricky because these things probably happen when there are no disks mounted. Any ideas? I know I could check the BIOS each time. But I am not sure I can get the users to do this reliably.
Any ideas or suggestions?

FWIW: I used to buy SuperMicro servers to run SuSE on. I eventually gave it up. Hardware was MS only. I had an endless (and still have...) array of problems with that SM hardware.. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
