Thanks, I think that's the problem. # CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS is not set ...on both my desktop, and on the netbook. The only difference is that the netbook's Poulsbo chipset (bleagh) doesn't play nice with hibernate, so I do a full shutdown, and the startup is from the text console login prompt. The problem didn't show up when I was re-installing (32 -> 64 bit upgrade) on my desktop, and doing full shutdowns and rebooting. So this seems I seem to remember this popping up as a new option recently during a kernel upgrade... Device Drivers > Real Time Clock [ ] Set system time from RTC on startup and resume This appears to do automatically what I do with the hwclock command in the OnResume option. Like 99% of all new stuff on "make oldconfig", I said "No". This time, it came back to bite me. Next kernel upgrade, I'll have to set that option on. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
