I've heard that the UTC reg hack for Windows has some downsides and that Windows does not always honor the registry value, though I am starting to consider this. > > 2 - in GNOME go to system->administration->date&time, and on the "time zone" > tab check that you have the TZ set and the hardware clock checked (or not, > if you disregard my 1st idea). Unfortunatley the gnome applet shows that I have "System Clock uses UTC" set and I am unable to clear it due to the missing rtc dev file. Interestingly enough when I run timeconfig it shows that "System Uses UTC" is not checked. My TZ is correctly set. > > 3 - use the acpi= boot options, you can look up which ones seem possible as > solutions.

Interesting that you bring it up as I am booting with apcpi=off to avoid a system hang. I wonder if I'm seeing some nasty results of acpi issues. My particular hardware is as follows (not that it will help much): CPU + MEM: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2GB RAM MOBO: MSI 975X platinum v2 Intel 975X northbridge Intel ICH7DH southbridge JMicron JMB361 --- DISABLED IN BIOS VGA: Nvidia 8800 GTS It is an x86_64 install of Fedora 9. > > 4 - disable apic from the boot options line.
