Hi:
I am runing linux based Intel CPU . I found the linux cannt read system
date from BIOS,isnt it?
Here is my problem:
1. I type "date" and the system show "Fri May 7 22:20:00 CST 1999". But
the BIOS time is "14:48:00" .
2. I type 'date -s "14:50:00" +%T ' to correct the date. All thing is ok
now.
3. After reboot, I type 'date' and the system show "Fri May 7 22:20:00
CST 1999". Why? Linux have lost my config.
You have told your system that the CMOS clock is set to GMT and
then what the local time zone is. Therefore it is compensating to
give you the correct local time. This will allow automatic changeover
to summertime if you have that in your timezone.
The system is working correctly.
