Occasionally, on a shutdown and COMPLETE power off, my Toshiba 2515CDS
with SuSE 6.1 seemed to revert to Pacific time (which I changed back in
August) and the Power Savings Features return to stock BIOS. YaST took
care of my Timezone problem ... the power savings features have to be
manually reset via '[ESC] - F1' though.
I will try to keep a better log of this now.
