Package: linux-package
Version: 2.6.18-6-486
Severity: normal

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
  APT prefers oldstable
  APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-486
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)

This is a multi OS Dell Dimension E521 system with dual core AMD64.
When I boot the system in Debian Linux i386 the time of the day is
incorrect:  it says PDT as expected, but the value is the UTC value.
When I boot the system in Debian Linux amd64 everything is OK.
When I boot the system in Windws Vista (32 bit) things are OK.

I found the following workaround:  In /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
do the following change:

/etc/init.d 48> diff hwclock.sh.orig hwclock.sh
21c21
< HWCLOCKPARS=
---
> HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa

I needed to make this change only in the hwclcock.sh file of
the i386 linux OS.

Closing. Please reopen if the bug persists with Lenny or later.
