Subject: Non-GMT date/time moves forward/backward
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 20:43:40 Turkey
X-Mailer: Endymion MailMan Standard Edition v3.0.11
Package: base
Version: 2.1
When I install the base system, and configure it so that my clock is not set to
GMT and my locale is configured to be Turkey, the clock assumes wrong date/time
in the following case:
1. the system boots up successfully, date/time is correct
2. the system is halted properly, runlevels etc. normal
3. some time is elapsed (30. min, 2 hours, days)
4. the system boots up successfully
5. the date/time is incorrect, it goes into the future or the past.
First, I thought the bug was with the fragility of init scripts, but then the
time changes should have been +/- 2 hours, since my timezone is +0200 GMT. It
seems that the shift in clock is related to the time system remains shut. I
have observed no error when I have merely rebooted the system (via proper
reboot command)
Since I have not fully understood and investigated the reason of erroneous
date/time, I don't have a bugfix or suggestion.
I use a Debian 2.1 slink sytem. Hardware setup: x86, PCI. The error recurs on
both a PII system and Pentium system. The BIOS is AWARD MODULAR BIOS. Also, The
error occurs with both 2.0 and 2.2 kernel versions.
