I do dual boot: Gentoo and Windows My hardware (bios) clock is set to local time. My /etc/localtime is a symbolic link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern In my /etc/conf.d/clock, I have: CLOCK="local" CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no" I have ntp-client running on default runlevel Each time I boot, I have this message: One of the files in /etc/{conf.d,init.d} or /etc/rc.conf" has a modification time in the future!" Strange: I am able to see this warning if I use gensplash and I press F2 to see the verbose mode. If I don't use gensplash, I don't see the warning. The problem coming from the modification times of /etc /sys and /proc which are set to the time of boot minus 4 hours. It seems that /etc/init.d/clock thinks that my hardware clock is set to UTC. After the booting process my system time is corrected ( but not the modification time of /etc /sys and /proc.

I've put a patch into our SVN which touches each file with a future mtime found in depscan.sh which should fix this issue. Will be in baselayout-1.12.1
Fixed in baselayout-1.12.1
I updated to baselayout-1.12.1, but I still have the same problem. I ran dispatch-conf and I had only 4 files to update: /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/localmount /etc/conf.d/net.exemple /etc/conf.d/env_whitelist
What version of e2fsprogs do you have installed?
(In reply to comment #4) > What version of e2fsprogs do you have installed? > e2fsprogs-1.39
If you roll back to 1.38-r1 does the problem disappear? (may require an extra reboot)

this bug started before e2fsprogs 1.39 was in the tree
This should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11
