Try "hwclock -systohc" after you've set your system time. That should set the hardware clock for you. -Joe -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-ppc-user] date and time set to April 1976
Hi,I've recently installed gentoo on a G4 TiBook and it's working fine.However, I have a couple of unresolved problems, one of which being, the system doesn't remember the date. I had entered the correct date when installing, but it always follow the system date instead (the date that appears in Open Firmware when I boot it) and I have to reset the correct date every time I boot (otherwise I get compilation errors warning that I'm installing files that got modified in the future).The system date turned back to April 1976 when I zapped the PRAM and NVRAM because it was impossible to boot Mac OS ; then I installed Gentoo and ever since it goes back again and again to 1976 (time is not stuck though ; time passing seems to be accurate, only, it is translated back to April 1976).I tried to guess how to reset time and date in Open Firmware by typing commands that seemed appropriate (I tried "date" "set-date", "setdate"), b! ut nothing worked :-(Does anyone know a fix to this -- either, how I could set correct time and date in Open Firmware, or allow Linux to remember its own time and date ?cheers,Y-Lan Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo!
