when i boot my toshiba satellite 1105 the BIOS clock is set to the time of the last system time of linux running. if i shutdown june 1 2004 at 13:24:42 and i boot my laptop into linux on june 3 2004 at 17:43:52 the BIOS clock and system clock start at june 1 2004 at 13:24:42. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.check time in bios 2.boot linux 3.kill power in any way 4.wait any amount of time 5.check bios time again 5.boot linux hwclock and date both show date and time ~when the shutdown/system kill happened Actual Results: the bios clock is set to the "system time" on boot Expected Results: BIOS clock should not change on boot durring boot up VT0 sayes setting the system time to what is stored in the bios while it is doing just the oppisite
This sounds alot like my proble with my dual boot system with my rc.conf set to "local" If this is the case try running hwclock --localtime
when i run hwclock --localtime first thing on boot up it is the same as system time. but system time is the time of when i shutdown linux and the time date that is saved at shutdown. if i dont shutdown properly it is the time and date of the last sucessful shutdown and yes i have rc.conf set to "local". i don't know if it matters but i know in my dmesg it desplayes...

well i booted up today and i was shocked to find my system time was set right i havent canged any thing that i can rember. i dont even think i have synced in a wile... but it was set right before i rdate ran so i guess if fixed itself
for some reasion it just works now so im closing the bug
