In /etc/conf.d/clock it says "If you want to sync the system clock to the hardware clock during shutdown, then say "yes" here." I think "system" and "hardware" should be switched here, since it really is the hardware clock that is synced. It should then say "If you want to sync the hardware clock to the system clock during shutdown, then say "yes" here." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Isn't it a duplicate of bug 95531?
Henrik: ph is right. Either you run an old baselayout or dropped the config update.
