Try running 'hwclock --show --debug', and run it again a bunch of seconds later. Is the hardware clock ticking? Here's a sample output: # hwclock --show --debug hwclock from util-linux-2.12r hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory. Using direct I/O instructions to ISA clock. Last drift adjustment done at 1138395601 seconds after 1969 Last calibration done at 1138395601 seconds after 1969 Hardware clock is on UTC time Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time. Waiting for clock tick... ...got clock tick Time read from Hardware Clock: 2006/01/27 21:04:32 Hw clock time : 2006/01/27 21:04:32 = 1138395872 seconds since 1969 Fri Jan 27 22:04:32 2006 -0.579761 seconds If it is ticking , then set the hardware clock to the correct time with 'hwclock --set --date=<thistime>', then throw away the /etc/adjtime file. Throw it away, as it might be the adjusting feature that thinks your clock is drifting a full hour per hour (that is: ticks away two hours in one). > # /etc/conf.d/clock > CLOCK="local" Do you need the "local" time thing? If Linux is the only OS on your box it's easier to use UTC. Your time zone is set correctly? Where is /etc/localtime linking to? Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
